Winter Corners 4

Here are some of the Valentines we made. They did not quite turn out a wonderful as I imagine but I am trying to set that aside and just embrace them. My idea was the radicchio would look like a peony and the endive as rosettes. The radicchio just more like a pink mess but I am really happy with the endive. I cut the radicchio in half and cut the tip off the endive. The endive made the most charming small roses.

Oh all you artistic ladies are just wonderful! I don't seem able to think up these things and do them, but I love it, that you do. :-)

HI!..I have used this idea to make large roses on a sweatshirt using the end of the stalks of celery
that you cut off and throw away.They are so realistic...TRY IT.

Love this! I have some brussel sprouts in the garden and I think we may be picking some to try this idea out! Thanks for letting me copy you (as usual!)
Love, Angie

That is such a clever idea and so befitting someone who is a "whiz" in the kitchen! I think they are just lovely and they look just like roses to me:)

Mine is sitting beside my computer and looks lovely. I never would have guessed your method.
Many thanks to you and the girls.

Oh my goodness, that is how you made them??? I love mine, I have it resting on my linen ladder.

Clarice,
These are really nice! I like them. And I think the kids and I can do these with ease! :) Thanks so much for all the beauty you share on your blog.
Oh, and thanks for the little "soap box" pep-talk you gave me the other day! It meant alot to me!
You inspire me. You make me feel happy when I read all you do for and with your family!
Have a wonderful, wonderful day!
