giant pinecones for Christmas

Well hello there.  I thought I would pop in today and share one corner of our home that is ready for the holidays.  I have been trying to get some order to this crazy house full of Christmas boxes and everything else so I can finish decorating.  The dining room table is buried and the floor isn't looking much better!  Little by little right?

Yesterday I was spinning my wheels working on a few projects only to finish this ten minute arrangement using my favorite giant pinecones.

 
I had planned on using paperwhites but I didn't plant the bulbs in time so I picked up this flowering plant at Home Depot.
 


Small pinecones are good fillers for the empty spaces between the big guys.  I don't think there is a time of year you won't see a pinecone or two at our house, we kind of love them.

 
A quick draping of fresh garland and a Merry Christmas sign wraps up this little corner of the living room.


I'm off to find my dining room table and finish a few more projects.  Have a fabulous day today!
