Nice! The picture made me think of Indian corn, which is really pretty. We used that a few times on Sukkos…. :)
That is so much fun!!!
We used to use indian corn in our sukkah, to! – That is, until the squirrels ate it…
LOL! I know someone who once tried using real fruits and veggies – until a moldy carrot fell in their plate. They didn’t do that again! :D
