Christmas Present

Holiday decorations are abundant this year, filling our home with both familiar and brand new treasures and trinkets.  The tree is a mixture of nature inspired curiosities and traditional ornaments:  feathered birds, glass mushrooms,  glittered pine cones and sequined balls. The outside is adorned with gold tree trunks and faux bois ribbon.  Take a look at Christmas present.

This is my daughter's placement of a momma bird and her babies.

For the outside I collected tree butts  from our local nursery and spray painted them gold, then proceeded to pile them up on a bed of pine needles inside our cast iron planters.

Hope you're all decorating and preparing to entertain family and friends this [last] weekend before Christmas.  Now all we need is snow...
