I figured I'd try it on the little tree I posted yesterday since I already have the shell mirror and blue and green ornaments. Hopefully, I'll have the time over Thanksgiving to pick up more starfish in Delaware where there is a huge tourist-trap type store that sells all kinds of shells and ocean-inspired decor.
I'd really like to do a snowy woodland tree for the larger tree. The current issue of Country Living has one such tree on the cover. I came across another tree earlier in the week, but I can't remember where!
I love all the pincones. They're inexpensive ($2.50 for a bag, or free if you have the time to collect them) and I don't have to worry about them shattering so they're safe for my little ones. I have my pinecones ready to spray paint and I'll be doing silver leaves and white birds vs. the colored ones in the picture above.
More pretty pinecones ...
Yummy! Enjoyed catching up on your blog this evening...one of my favorite places to be! Have a wonderful weekend, xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
ReplyDeleteI love all the Christmas photos, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love those pine cone decorations...it makes me want to see what I have in my basement...I used to make lots of spruce cone wreaths for sale and if I picked the cones when they were immature they stayed a lovely shade of rose and green...haven't been able to find them lately..we also have a few sugar pine cones from our trip to California ages ago.
ReplyDeletei love the cones hanging inbetween the banister post- no clutter!
ReplyDeleteOh what gorgeous trees and decorations. I love the coastal one, it is so different. The pine cones are all just fabulous. Great ideas. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love all of these rooms that are decorated!!! I especially like the pine cones along the star case & you are so right, they are in-expensive which makes it a great thing to use for decorating! What a great idea!! I also like the red and turquoise presents under the tree!! So pretty!! Have fun decorating!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the pinecones!!
ReplyDeletePinecones are such a beautiful, natural way to decorate! I love Christmas decor that is natural or handmade--thanks for the lovely inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful images! I adore glass pinecone and acorn ornaments, and these natural pinecones are just as lovely! ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteCute decorations! I love the pine cone tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing all the internet browsing for me!!! Lovin' the inspiration here...I'm working on my christmas tree this weekend, and I'm trying all manner of stuff. My family thinks I'm nuts because I can't leave 'well-enough' alone. :)
