Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Ladies I'm taking down our fall table and begining winter table now .
My question is - can I store these little mini gourds and corns ? or should I chuck them ? I'm not sure if these are usually dried and ok to store or would they go bad after a time ?
they are just the commercially grocery store bought items . I'd like to store them as I did purchase them .
Let me know what you've done please .
God Bless , Roxie

The corns should be fine (I am assuming they are the dried colored corn?)- I've stored some from year to year in a cardboard box in my attic and I have had no problems.

I would keep your gourds in a dry dark place for a while and see how they do - sometimes I have had gourds dry out nicely and I can keep them (once they do dry I have not had a problem) but other times they start to mold and get wrinkly. Haven't figured out why some dry and others don't.
