I love the succulents incorporated in your designs. This one is especially beautiful.

Astar, what a lovely design. The bark is birch and I get it just from the Forrest behind my house. You can do so many things with it. Over here in Sweden they make beautiful lamps from the bark.

Love it. Absolutely fabulous. I watched it three times!!

Thank you Astar. I especially like this arrangement. To me this gives a subtle and calming affect. I would like to use it after Christmastide to transition to a winter decor. BTW, it may be tree bark wrapped around those candles. That's what it looks like in the video. I live in the US and depending on where you live here the winter weather can be very cold and freezing to mild.

Turned out fabulous! ❤️❤️❤️

[@AstarsPlace]

She Leaves A Little Sparkle - I am so thrilled. Works equally well with fresh succulents as well. Just replace foam for soil or green foam and place directly into soil or foam. X Astar
