    Looks like there has been an effort by the "Boston Trash Can Improvement Society" to improve the streetscape along Massachusetts Avenue. Nice job! Next time may we suggest a bow with long streamers attached to the trash bag knot for the perfect finishing touch.

  • How to Make a Great Holiday Bow from an Expert!

    Ed produced a training video showing how to make a great bow for the Garden Club of The Back Bay's Wreath Week fund raising event. It was intended for them to use to train volunteers, but they decided to share it with everyone. 

    If you've always wanted to make a great bow for your holiday wreath or a special gift, this video will make it easy for you to use wired ribbon to create the bow of your dreams! And, listen when Margaret tells you that twisting that wire tight is the key– it is!

    We'd like to thank Margaret Pokorny for her great presentation and for letting us share her expertise with our readers.
