Cross River

Twigs and dried flowers become unique wreaths at Cross River, a small shop in Forestport, in northern Oneida County. The rustic look suits the setting, a quiet town on the Black River at the edge of the Adirondack foothills. A twig wreath fits right in there.

Twig and dried-flower wreaths last far longer than fresh greenery, so they work as year-round decoration for a door or a wall. The shop is usually open, though a call ahead is smart before making the drive out to Forestport.
