pine cone garland

i gathered these pretty little pine cones while at a playground with 

the boys in the summer and i knew they would come in handy.....

and the garland is actually pretty easy to make, just 

wrap the twine around the pine cone and tighten.

a nature's treasures wreath

willow, spruce, silver spruce, pine cones and some rose hips 

...all gathered from the surroundings of our home :)
