Thank you. They're all baby mini-veggies, which is the fun part of making it - finding "fractals" or veggies that look like the regular big ones. Like, Brussels sprouts look like little cabbages and so forth.

Another tip from that pic (from Tsgiving 2 years ago, actually) ... putting fall flowers in a clear vase filled with cranberries and water.

I make several small bouquets from one large one, using a couple of bags of cranberries for the vase filler - then I keep them in the fridge when they're not out on display.

I kept 3 of them for over 3 months that way, without actually intending to. I only threw them out because I was making some Valentine's bouquets for around the house!

Also, at Easter or in the summer, you can do the same with lemon, lime or orange slices and it's very pretty!

Thanks for the ping!

Loving this topic... I can feel my butt getting bigger just reading the recipes :D I'll share some when I have a few minutes.
