More cleaning today ~ more shuffling things
around ~ more playing.
I bought these pretty pine cone ornaments
at Macy's the day after Christmas. They are
coated with tiny beads and gold glitter.
I couldn't quite bring myself to pack them away yet
for next year, so I mixed them with artificial
pears and greenery.
I tucked everything into a wood-slat basket for
a wintry mix.
Then I added a pine-scented candle for ambiance and a
luscious pine scent. Bath & Body makes the best pine-scent
candle called "Fresh Balsam" ~ available only during
the Christmas season.
I love the detail on this little green plate I found at
Goodwill for $.59.
A winter vignette that will take me all the way
to spring. I think by then, I'll finally be ready to
put away my pine cone ornaments. Until then ~ I
intend to enjoy them and their little touch of glitter.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to put them away yet either.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased some beautiful ornaments and don't want to put them away still thinking about how I could use them all winter.
Happpy 2011!

What a good idea to mix the Christmas Pine Cones in the Basket and enjoy them for a few more months. Your photos are wonderful as well. Nice for Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteLove your winter vignette. The pine cones are so pretty and wonderful find at Macys. I leave out some of the decorations through the month of January that have the winter feel. Cools me off! :D :D Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. It's nice to have a small reminder now and again that we are still in winter, when everyone is so anxious to throw off the Christmas decorations and head full speed to Easter.
ReplyDeleteThe pine cones are nice. Those candles are half off right now at Bath and Body......saw them tonight.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely! Your green plate was a great find!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic. I love the pinecones!
ReplyDeleteThe pinecones are just the thing for winter decor and the smell of balsam devine. Really lovely photos.
