No, Holly. Those are more like...little gold apples.

I am a trash-picker--and when I worked at "Franks", I would retrieve all kinds of things they were throwing out. Even to this day--when I am in Michaels of Joannes--I will pick up the fallen bits and pieces and blooms laying on the floor...It is trash to them and will get swept away. Sometimes i ask if I may keep them--sometimes I just pick them up.

And so--I have boxes and bags full of this and that--and whenever i need something--I just get them out...attach picks for stems--if needed.

This was my Fall arrangement. I am sure about 75% of what it is made out of was "trash" at one point....Basket purchased at Good Will...
