I joined a group this afternoon to make bay leaf wreaths. They are intended to hang in a kitchen so that the cook always has bay leaves to hand for recipes. I think a bigger one, maybe with some red berries, maybe little lights, would be lovely as a front door wreath for Christmas. The ones we made this afternoon will be on sale at the Christmas lights-on market.

I was so excited to see this post. My friend has just delivered a huge bunch of bay and I’ve pulled down my jar of dehydrated oranges.🍊 It’s time to play!😊

I like the idea of having one hanging in the kitchen, smelling lovely and looking pretty – useful too. 🙂

Yes, and useful! I’m not sure I would want to take one apart though. We are lucky enough to have a bay tree to pick our own so could keep my wreath intact. 🙂

What a delightful idea. And they are so attractive.
Fortunately, when my better half needs bay leaves she just sends me up the garden path to the large bay tree!
Aren’t we lucky.
