Holiday Perception

Artsy is as craftsy does and now that Thanksgiving is in the rear view mirror it seemed to me that a combination of an old pine cone wreath, a burlap ribbon and a bit of found Mexican tin ware could be combined to make an initial impact on the approach of the next holiday that is rapidly heaving, dare I say heaving?, into view.  The term “artsy craftsy” has become a pejorative but like anything else, it’s all in one’s own perception (and taste).  One man’s pumpkin pie (yum) is another man’s baccala (ugh).  I think I can live with this for a month.
