For the Love of Pinecones

What is it about a pine cone that fascinates me?

When I think of a pine cone I think of Christmas & decorations

and all the things I can do with them.

You can paint them silver & gold, glitter them, turn them into a fabulous wreath,

use them on your Christmas table like I did below

or just place them in a bowl and sprinkle them with essential oils.

I can smell them already!!!!

Thank you Isabel for the pic of my table :)

Mike and I have a ritual during hunting season. He watches for deer and elk

and I look for pine cones.

I have him trained pretty well.

We will be driving in the Forrest and low and behold on the side of the road is a slew of pine cones. Of course we are at 4000 foot level and its snowing like a dickens, but he always thinks of me when he says "look, there is some more of your dumb pine cones" that's my queue to get out :)

Do you decorate with pine cones. I would love to hear all your ideas!!!

Also, just a reminder that the Monticello Old Fashioned Christmas Show at Monticello Marketplace is still going on until December 27th.
Us junkers are still bringing in wonderful junk. Be sure to check it out.
Hope you all have a FAB weekend!!!
