 Helen Norman photos | display freshly fallen leaves. Position single leaves, either pressed or
fresh, in small glass vases, and place them on various surfaces around
the house. (We used old lab beakers—look for them at antique stores.)
The best thing about this sweet and simple display is that when the
leaves start to crumble and brown, you can easily replace them. Editor's Tip: To press leaves, place them between
layers of newspaper and under a heavy stack of books. Let the leaves dry
for a couple of days. Then, to enhance their color, iron the leaves
between pieces of waxed paper, using a pressing cloth to keep the wax
off the iron. Pressed leaves also can be purchased at local crafts
stores.
