December 17th

Nothing smells more like Christmas to me than the spicy scent of cloves mingled with sweet citrus.  Mmmmm…..

This was another favorite gift idea  of my mother’s when I was growing up.  We’d create a pretty pattern of cloves all over a big juicy orange and tie a ribbon around it, pinned with a loop at the top for hanging.

Here’s Martha Stewart’s great “how-to” on pomanders.

It’s only one week until Christmas!!!  🙂

  1. I have fond memories of doing this, too~ I think it all started when my grandmother showed me one she had for years. It is such a soothing, comforting craft, it reawakens wonderful memories~

    Love this photo!
