Happy Thanksgiving! I'm re-running this article from October 22, 2016 as moss balls continue to be a decorating favorite of mine. You can buy them everywhere from the Dollar Stores to IKEA to TJ Maxx to online. They add depth to any tableau as every room benefits from a bit of green. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Funny how one decorating accessory can play into real life. One of my first phone calls with P back in 1985: "What are you doing?" "Making moss balls." "Huh?" "Maybe you ought to come over and see."

Don't you love a score? I'm all excited about this $10 gold frame (4' x 3') found at a rather permanent flea market in Berkeley, CA. Kicking out the battered plexiglass and dusting it off the best I could, I could hardly wait to get it home.
