First Place: Emily Johnson Second Place: Alex Allen Third Place: Jackson Allen Grapevine Wreath A native plant of North Carolina, grapevine flourishes all over our beautiful community. Whether the vines are growing wild or have been planted with intention, grapevine is a ready resource right out your back door. Grapevine wreaths are super easy to make and enjoyed by all! Gather Supplies: • Clippers for pruning, with parent’s permission. • Decorations of all shapes and sizes, optional. From ribbon to ornaments, lights, dried flowers, berries, magnolia leaves, etc. Let’s get started: • F ind some grapevine and start clipping the vines into long lengths. • Gather many vines, the bigger the wreath planned, the more vines you need. • Strip the leaves from the vines. • Determine the size of the wreath desired, gather a vine, and start by winding the vine into the shape of a wreath. The circumference of the wreath is a good estimate of how big your wreath will become. • Keep wrapping the vines around and around to encircle the wreath. • Tuck the end of each vine into the wreath body. Add as many vines as you like, and the wreath will begin to take shape. Once your wreath is finished, then you can decorate it. Get creative and enjoy this beautiful handicraft in your home. Or gift it to a teacher, grandparent, friend—to anyone you love! �� Mistletoe Cottage Situated in the heart of the Village rests the Mistletoe Cottage. Built in 1896, by James Walker Tufts for $1,500, the 10-room cottage has welcomed many guests. Beginning as a seasonal rental for $225 a season, the cottage was first established where the Razooks building is today and boasted a grand turret at its front. A gabled dormer now replaces the turret, and a move across the street to 115 Magnolia Road in 1912 brought changes as did the renovations of 1914/15. From the Leonard Tufts family to the McDonald in 1914 for $4,500, to the Weir, McNab, Donald Ross, Fuller, and Shearwood families, the Mistletoe Cottage has been beloved. �� No. 126 The Pinehurst Gazette, Inc. p.39
