Decorating for Christmas Outdoors

Take a peek at these pine cones. I picked the pine cones up while on some  of our hikes in Georgia. The pine cones where all closed up and tight when I picked them up on the Georgia forest floor.  When I got home I set them out on a table in the basement. They slowly began to pop open. Yes,Wisconsin has pine cones, but there is something really cool about how big and fat these Georgia pine cones get. They also have a sharp point on the tips. Ouch!
I hot glued the pine cone to a willow branch. I used the pine cones in my outdoor Christmas decorating. 

 
 Pine, birch, pine cones and gold twirls.

 And now lets peek at the greenhouse.

  5. Your outdoor decorations are so inviting. I love the solar lights idea on the greenhouse tree.
    We don't have those big pine cones either but I found a big bag of them at Value village some years back for very cheap and I use them for Christmas decorations every year.
    Happy decorating.
    Hugs, Julia

  9. Carla, everything is so pretty! I would have never thought about gluing the pine cones to the branches; what a great idea and they look great! Love that tree in the greenhouse. And you are right, the pine cones in the south get pretty large and they definitely hurt when they stick you! :-) Looks beautiful my friend...love and hugs!

  12. Your decorations are simply beautiful! This makes me want to go outside an do something with all these pine cones. You are great at making wreaths, and different arrangements...with flowers too. I will have to tell Poppy that you picked up pine cones in Georgia. He'll be proud. :) He is from Georgia. Gosh! That was a big fish your son caught, in the last post.
