It all started with my Martha Stewart. Every now and then i'll turn her show on and see what she is crafting up. Now, I'm no Martha, but I like to think I do pretty well with my attempts. This particular episode, in August, she was making a peppermint topiary tree. It was cute and looked like something I could conquer. Given that it wasn't even fall I kind of forgot about it.
Then October rolled around. Every year we have a huge halloween party for our friends and neighbors. I am always looking for great decorations. Then I remembered those candy topiaries... Ah Ha!
I made my first candy pumpkin. I went to Target and bought all their orange candy glued it together and stuck it on my hearth. I got so many comments they became staple for my party. Everyone loves finding their favorite candy and pulling it off, and i love that it is not just another bag of candy sitting out. Plus Each one has 3-5lbs, so there is no shortage of treats.
If i can make a pumpkin, i can make anything... Now I make different items for each holiday. I only sell a few of my christmas items for now but I'm sure we will grow and soon offer arrangements for every holiday.
