purple ornaments, discarded soft drink can

I knew there was a reason I didn't want to take these Christmas balls back to the shed! I didn't even use them in decorations this year--they were leftover from some other year--but they somehow made it from the shed to the house and sat in my utility room until today. I guess my subconscious somehow knew that I would run into this discarded soft drink can on my walk today, that it would be as simple as pie to drop the cluster of Christmas balls and a hunk of green hellebores into the can, and that the result would make me smile!
