Townsman, 1991-11, Page 19Dried flowers from your garden such as dusty miller or bows and bells can be used to decorate it. Boughs can adorn the mantel. Bows can be fabric or crepe paper. Wreaths can be made from many natural items such as grapevines or straw or cedar tied on a wire with string. Some people must have new co- ordinated decorations every year to match their colour scheme but it is not necessary. Trinkets can be family heirlooms. Tree decorations can be used over the years if they are stored properly or home-made out of paper, popcorn, tinsel, or fabric. Pine cones and boughs and bows on a mirror makes a very simple and effective table centerpiece. Wrapping paper can be cut and fold- ed for use next year as can bows. Last year's cards can be cut with scissors, straight edge or zigzag, for tags or for a collage for the children. You can use what you have in your closet to wrap presents if you save brown paper bags. Plain brown paper can be stencilled or tied with ribbons and tinsel. Plastic bags you get when buying your groceries can be used to wrap your decorations and lights after the holidays to protect them from dust. Boxes and bags can be saved from year to year to wrap your presents or store saved decorations. Tree skirts can be elaborate if made from felt or fabric with cut-out designs or simply made of coloured paper or foil. "Waste not, want not", is a theme many people can remember their par- ents saying as they grew up. In today's energy and consumption conscious world, it makes more sense than ever. The Ultimate Gift... Presented by Goderich Art & Frame Shoppe and Wentworth Folkins Dear Customer: May we present with eager anticipation the new Folkins Collection of two stunning nostalgic images created especially for Goderich. There will be, herein, no wordy imagery describing Went's two new prints. We want YOU to take a long, close look at two of the best you'll ever see. Undeniably, the period of history portrayed in these paintings takes on added charm and significance in light of the real threat to the very existence of rail service in this area. We wish to point out that the paper used in printing our new editions of 300 lithographic reproductions is the best in the industry - the most expensive to acquire, the cleanest 100% rag paper being produced in North America today. You will immediately see and feel the sublime texture of this vellum stock which is ordinarily reserved for fine art prints being marketed in the $350. to $600. price range. History in the Making For a limited time, a set of BOTH prints, with matching edition numbers will be available. These prints are exclusively at Goderich Art & Frame Shoppe, 41 West Street, Goderich, Ontario. To reserve your prints of Wentworth Folkins CNR and CPR Goderich Stations, please call 524-2881.
