  1. I have a pinecone Christmas tree that I made years ago -- it has mini lights strung on it and tiny little decorations! I need to remember to grab some pinecones from in front of one of the grocery stores in town - I have a pin that shows how to bleach them so they're a creamy colour - they would look awesome in a Christmas bowl, in my front hall :)

  2. That pinecone tree is beautiful! I haven't seen one before - might have to go in search of some to try that for myself!
