Did a quick outdoor hunt in my back yard today (which borders woods)
for something to get the inside of this house looking like Winter.
I was inspired by this post at Cabin & Cottage. 
I liked the left over blossom pods from the Rose of Sharon bushes...
And I also found thin little twigs - almost like paper -
with feather like tops. I made 2 piles and got to work...
My white coffee table trunk got the Rose of Sharon twigs...
...and a glass urn beside my fireplace got the other twigs...
Leftovers filled this ironstone pitcher...
...and a freebie wooden trough I picked up from who-knows-where...
I removed anything overtly Christmas from this terrarium grouping
and called it 'winter'...

Have you put away Christmas yet? (and it's OK if you haven't!)

Yes , I just put away Christmas two days ago. And goodness, it feels so nice to have everything back to normal. I love all of your winter decorations. You are so good at what you do.
Blessings, Betsy
Oh you are so good at this! I have Rose of Sharon bushes and have never given a thought to bringing some of the limbs inside. I love the vase of twigs. Got all the Christmas stuff packed away and it feels good!! I did notice some sprigs of dead holly on a little shelf that I missed. I need to throw it out. :)
I love all the wintry things that you brought in from the great outdoors. They look great the way you have arranged them all too. For me, I think I would have sprayed some of them silver to give an icy wintry look.....but that's just me. Thank goodness we're not all the same...right? Great Blog!
Thanks Diane! I like the silvery idea - that would be great! This was a 'quicky' project (if you can call it that) as most of them need to be. I'm so happy with it and it is done :)
I love this! I am inspired to go out collecting!! xo Lynn
Hi Joyce, enjoyed your nature Winter decorating. It turned out wonderful! Now you have me thinking about what I might find outside. :)
Hi Joyce! How wonderful to be the inspiration for your twiggy winter display! I love it! How nice to have a little woods so near by. Beautiful decor for free!
