Holiday Decorating 101 - The Kissing Ball

The weather is perfect for outdoor decorating!

The kissing ball dates back to the 18th-century with charming romantic traditions.  As the story goes, when a young lady stands under a kissing ball, she would remove a berry for each kiss received from her suiter until all were gone.

Today, you will find these lovely holiday spheres decorated many ways, using a variety of material from greens to papers.  Decorating is only limited by your imagination or should I say, the imagination of my Veggie Elves!

We make kissing balls right here in Niantic and love the idea of hanging them in a doorway or from a chandelier to add interest to any room.  You can also hang them on your front porch, right where your hanging baskets spent the summer, for an extra special presentation.
