Last week I asked for your favorite shop for wreaths and garlands and here’s what you had to say: Elements in Old Lyme (owner Carla does the arrangements for the Ocean House), Staehly Farms in Hadlyme, Shelleys (no website) 217 Main St., Branford, Schremmps Tree Farm in Clinton, Scott’s in Old Saybrook, The Herbery on Route 154 in Old Saybrook and Winterberry Farm on Parker Hill Road in Killingworth. Yumiko at Hana Floral in Mystic hand clamps her wreaths (entirely made from scratch) incorporating balsam, eucalyptus, oregonia and boxwood, beribboned and adorned with your choice of trimmings from $45 to $65 (pictured).

What’s your go-to hors d’oeuvres (homemade or bought) that never fails you? Share it on The E List facebook page.
