Cinnamon sticks

We are approaching a busy time for my wife, making floral arrangements for Christmas as well as preparing to do the flowers for our nephew's wedding. She is trying to get ahead, and the house is beginning to fill with baubles, pine cones, berries, dried slices of fruit and other non-perishable components of her Christmas arrrangements. These bundles of cinnamon sticks which she has been preparing will be used in Christmas wreaths and table arrangements. The fresh components will come later.
