New! Download the instructions and have fun!
The Holiday Season is nearly upon us and while we don't usually rush to decorate for Christmas at Century Farmhouse, this year it seems right somehow to begin things a little early. Perhaps we all need a little light in the murky darkness that 2020 has become.
This morning I decided to make some dried orange slices. They are easy to make and add so much to any holiday decorations you might want to add them to. String them into a garland, tie them to a wreath, or hang on the tree. You can top gifts with a handful of slices or add them to the potpourri bowl.
