Pax: peace, but what a strange peace, made of unremitting toil and effort, seldom with a seen result, subject to constant interruptions, unexpected demands, short sleep at nights, little comfort, sometimes scant food; beset with disappointments and usually misunderstood, yet peace all the same, undeviating, filled with joy and gratitude and love."Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069136541832210309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-22638787100075147102010-03-13T12:12:30.082-06:002010-03-13T12:12:30.082-06:00Yeah, I was thinking that at first, but since I...Yeah, I was thinking that at first, but since I've never looked closer I didn't know if it were actual wheat or something synthetic, and started wondering where else I might see a stalk of wheat!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902288085349860434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-45283231539242074072010-03-13T12:09:44.264-06:002010-03-13T12:09:44.264-06:00I've seen it at craft stores, in the floral de...I've seen it at craft stores, in the floral department.Margaret Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757450243693023480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-39091667487626820062010-03-13T11:44:34.917-06:002010-03-13T11:44:34.917-06:00Okay... where did you get wheat? :)Okay... where did you get wheat? :)Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902288085349860434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-58390547505569953242010-03-12T16:52:51.235-06:002010-03-12T16:52:51.235-06:00Aw, c'mon, Mrs. W!

It would be great to have more examples and even one such as yours that has been used for several years can be inspiration for the new ones we hope to make. I, for one, would like to see it! Anything that inspired Mary Liz to make such a beautiful wreath must have merit.Margaret Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757450243693023480noreply@blogger.com
