Preserved Boxwood

Hello everyone!

I've slowly been collecting more preserved boxwood items.  I love the look and how many different places I can use them.  

I started out with the little mini wreaths a few years ago.  I recently rehung them on my secretary glass doors.

Then I purchased this large one and have it hung in the hallway leading to our kitchen.

But I wanted more!  So I found this cute little topiary sized one that fits perfectly in my grey stone pot.

And this smaller wreath size that I have lying on top of some old books.

But did you know that you have to take care of them?  You really can't just go buy them and set them out and expect them to last forever.  I found out that you're supposed to mist them about once a month.  Kind of like a fern.

So, I use this little spray bottle to do that.

I found this great source for tips on  how to take care of  preserved boxwood HERE if you're interested.  It gives you some do's and don'ts for displaying it and caring for it.

Hope you all are having a nice Sunday!  My poor son has been covered up in homework every night, including this weekend, since he started 7th grade!  I guess it's going to be a loooong year.  

Thanks for stopping by!
