One With Nature

How's your weekend going? I was outside amongst the trees today. It was a bit jungle like with all those thorny vines. I hate those things.

I was collecting these. I need them for the big Thanksgiving feast. No, not for a new recipe. Though, that would be very organic of me. Talk about fiber.

I gave them a nice soaking and they closed up tighter then a clam. Hopefully they will fluff back up tomorrow when the sun comes out. I just wanted to drown any little creepy crawlers that might be hiding. 

I'll show you what I am using them for. Just not today. The days are getting so short and I need to remember to take pictures early so I have light. 

see you later,

Sticks and Stones

I was gathering some pictures of all my twiggy things I have around the house. I think my favorite has to be the large tall tin vase of the curly willow on the mantel. It's tall and sort of wiry but I think it fits with the height of the fireplace and the ceiling. I actually found the willow at a thrift store. It was still greenish when I got it. I chose not to plant it. Let's face it it. It would have ended up dead either way. So I let it turn into this golden brown  color which I really like. I stuck in some fake berry stems for the fall.

This is actually two twig wreaths and a white berry wreath all bound together. It's hanging in my sad little guest room that really needs some attention. So this is the only view you're getting.  I am still trying to find a trundle bed that I like so I can get rid of one of the twin beds and make room for my sewing stuff. Craigslist is not cooperating at all for me. 

And lastly I will leave you with some stones. Since it was in the title of this post and all. Donna has a twiggy themed link up this week so I'll join up over there.
