Our Advent Wreath

     I never did get around to making an actual Advent wreath this year, but I did fashion a makeshift one, so that we could still celebrate Advent.  I used our Waldorf birthday ring as a base, with a simple greenery wreath around it.  It's very pretty, but I do like the symbolism of the different colored candles.  The beautiful red berries I got from a shopping center parking lot.  They had this long row of  Nandina, all dripping with red berries.  So I went ahead and picked some.  Not sure how ethical  this is, but they look really pretty in our wreath.  Is it wrong to pick flowers, berries, etc. from parking lots?
