One image I've always loved is of a rafter with bunches of herbs and flowers hanging from it. But -- as is with all those dreamy books of even dreamier interiors, which, let's face, it most of us cannot duplicate (I don't think I could live in a sea of white -- think of the cleaning!!!)-- I've never lived in a place with rafters. Still, these roses were so beautiful, I looked around to see if I could hang them to dry, and there was this curtain rod in the entrance between hall and living area, so I hung them there. They will be joined by bunches of herbs. When I get around to it....
It's called making do.
