--Amy Handy. The unique beauty of winter gives us graceful natural arrangements for table, mantel, and tree; there's even a seaside Christmas utilizing beach treasures. Spring offers the delights of early blooms, a garland of pastel Easter eggs, a floral May basket. From the endless bounty of summer come fruit-filled taste treats, pressed flowers and ferns, home accessories featuring seashells and beach glass. Autumn affords crafting with colorful leaves and berries, brewing up spicy teas, cooking with cranberries. Guiding us through every season, Gifts from Nature is packed with a multitude of ideas, including recipes. "Nature is an extraordinary gift," says designer Matthew Mead, "one that is perennially given to us, and one that we can give and share with others." And you don't need your own garde
This is a really great book A Customer I truly enjoyed Gifts From Nature and all of the wonderful projects and ideas for each season. I love the simplicity of ideas and that Matthew Mead focuses on using things that are available in nature- right in our own backyard. If you like Martha Stewart, you'll love this book by Matthew Mead- no hard to find supplies or expensive materials- it's filled with what is easy to find for all of us- no matter where you live or how much money you have. I'll be giving Gifts From Nature to all of my friends this . I expected more NY reader He is very capable, but I felt I had seen so much of it before. I was not very inspired.
