All of your decor items look so cozy and charming. Plus, you make me chuckle. I don't do any decorating except for Christmas these days, but I get so much enjoyment from seeing what you devise. I love the vintage things you find.

In reply to Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces. I also use pine cones after Christmas along with snowmen, white metal trees & white deer. I use our window sills, they make me smile when I open the blinds each morning. Copper buckets, in bowls & on shelves. Calmer colors from the bright ones of Christmas & the coming pinks & reds of Feb. I too love the cozy, warm feeling I get when I see them. In Mich. we usually need that warm feeling in Jan. Happy January everyone.

You can never have too many pinecones--that's my motto! I love them in all their sizes and designs (is that the right word? you know what I mean, right?) I pick them up along my path wherever I see them when I'm walking and have a ton. Although you can buy them here and there I never have. I always seem to be able to collect more than enough free of charge. As for using them in the Spring and Summer I have used them like you did in the olive bucket but in the bottom of a large plant pot so I didn't have to use as much soil to fill it and so it was lighter to move. Just the old, scrubby ones, of course. Don't know where I learned that idea but I tho't it was a great one. So...let's hear it for pinecones!! May they be ever plentiful!

Pinecones are my favorite thing to use for winter! You have so many great ideas! I'm in love with that deer holding remotes!

You made me laugh several times today! Thanks for that!
I get a lot of fairly attractive pine cones for free from my yard and walks in parks. I have pinecones less than an inch long and some about a foot long, which I picked up years ago in Alabama! I do give them a rinse or wash if they are coming inside! Sometimes they start out tightly closed and then kind of unfurl, and sometimes they stay tightly closed. Sometimes they smell piney and good, too. Yeah, that craft store cinnamon can be too much.
I get a lot of clippings from my own and neighbors' trees and use those for decorations, but have no source of birch, and those sure are pretty!

I love them and I use them all over the house, too. They seem to fill that empty post Christmas pre-Easter gap quite nicely. I also stuff the bottoms of the containers {with crumpled tissue from Christmas} but I don't have any birch limbs and I didn't even think about gathering oak limbs. Hmmm....
