Add a little sparkle to your any table setting with vintage tinsel ribbon…simply cut and tie around a champagne or wine glass – even used to secure a guest napkin would look lovely too! Bonne Année!

Snow Covered Pinecones
The simplicity of snow covered pinecones nested in a large glass vase is just lovely. I made these the week after Thanksgiving to add just a bit of winter to the home…My initial plan was to tuck them in our Christmas tree once we got it. Until then I displayed them in this big glass vase. But they look to perfect in the vase, so there they stayed in all their festiveness! TO MAKE: simply paint on some glue (I used modge podge) to the edges of the pinecones – thinking of where snow would naturally lay if it fell on the pinecones. Then simply choose your favorite glitter (I used crystal size glitter so it looked more like flakes than the glitter dust.) Let dry, dust off loose crystals and wa-la! A perfect winter decoration you can display well after the holidays have passed.

Holiday Preparation
Wrapping presents is one of my favorite things to do! Here are some images of my newly designed “Pinecone” gift wrap that I’ll be using this year. Since I only wanted a small quantity I tried the service from Picture Paper just to get an idea of their quality. While I am impressed with the quality and paper thickness of the matte style I am underwhelmed with the glossy version. . But, that said, I am pleased enough to use it to envelope all the family and friends gifts the husband and I are gifting this year! They all especially look lovely with bright red + lime green ribbons I got earlier this year. Click here to see more! (Notice my little helper in one, who wanted nothing more than to steal the pinecones and bat them all over the floor. She was patiently waiting for me to take her photo before she pounced. Good kitty.)
