October 5, 2011--hot peppers

The holly leaves in this arrangement are recyled from Oct. 1. The vase is a salt shaker that has "pepper" written in red on it. It's been on the vase shelf, not the dinner table, for a long time, but I don't think I'd every used it as a vase before. In fact, I grabbed it just because it was the right size to hold those holly leaves, which I didn't want to throw away as I was dismantling the Oct. 1 arrangement.  Today's arrangement just sort of evolved for there--a container advertising pepper in red seeming to call for  hot peppers, which needed to be harvested anyway.
