decorating

I'm always slow in decorating. Well, maybe because
my house is a mess at the moment (and almost
always :/) and I didn't feel like decorating the mess.

But yesterday I start to make something - orange
slices. It's easy to make. These are all you need:

After you cut the orange in slices (mine are about
5mm thick), hang them on a thread to let them
dry. They look very fresh and smell good. I think,
I'll make some more today and look for some
cinnamon stick and star anise.

Edit 10th Dec 2008: Thanks, folks! But this is not my
own idea. I was inspired by the potpourri I once had.
And I think, I've seen orange slices for purchase
somewhere too.

When we where little, we decorated oranges with this star anis pieces. Making patterns and such. The slices look much more sophisticated :)
