I have a longtime favorite seller on eBay.
Her primitive style is just so ---well, primitive! I am always inspired to simplify, to celebrate the mundane , the drab, the old, after a tour through her eBay store.
So this year when she began showing "Pie Plate" dried sunflower heads, I was hooked.
Charmed. I loved how they looked, the texture, the simplicity.
I bought a batch of, I think, 7 or 8...
In her Maine house with crisp fall nights and breezy days, a wood stove---sunflower heads probably dry beautifully.
At the beach they shrivelled and grew grey mold of mammoth proportions. They exuded a weird odor!
I hung them outside from the eaves in the sun, hoping the survivors would dry. Finally they did...and the little flock of sparrows that lives in my yard loved every kernel....
Dare I suggest, in the future :

Oh no! What a shame but at least the birds got the enjoy them. I think they would suffer the same fate here. We might be in the desert, but we are also surrounded by sea and mold/mildew is a huge problem, especially when humidity is high. Have a wonderful weekend. :) Tammy
