Pretty!

How long do they last before you have to throw them out?

Pomanders smell so good! And they look so pretty in a bowl.

Hey Kimmie,

These are beautiful! I'm hopefully going to try them. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Stacy;

Oh they last forever, or until they get so dusty that you want to chuck them.
I rotate them around in the bowl for the first month or so...as the fruit has yet to dry out totally. I think the rotation helps! (especially if you chose to show them off in a bowl..on a mantel displayed singularly, you wouldn't need to rotate them).

They look GREAT! I think we might have to try this! : ) Thanks for the run-down in how to do them!!!! Can you use clemintines or do they have to be oranges??

Kimmie said...

Hi Shawnda

My guess is no on the clementines, I think there is too much air space between the fruit and skin...but hey, you could try...it is smaller, so it would be faster.

Really it is very beautiful picture, the pomanders with dry pinecone, fresh slices orange and the proportional coloration bowl, they create a really christmas composition.
I imagine how many beautifully they smell

Thanks for your response, Kimmie! I kind of guessed you'd say that ; ) I was hoping to do them today, but guess I'll have to wait to get some oranges! ; )
