But, I love the understated swagged real green garlands, simple satin ribbons, moss topiaries, all those real sugared fruits & swags. I go on a home tour here in B'ham every year & those homes are usually done very simply and elegantly with natural greenery and I oooh and ahh over it every time. Maybe one day I'll break down & go completely natural. But, it can be pretty expensive too to buy it all from a shop.Rhoda @ Southern Hospitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741881774379561710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-36243561773883380972010-12-09T18:40:53.536-08:002010-12-09T18:40:53.536-08:00Hi Kathysue, what gorgeous inspiration.

I love the natural look. I have hundreds of pinecones that I've picked up on my walks both here and on the east coast. I love them. Another fun thing to do with pinecones is wrap a wire around the top and then put lots of peanut butter on the pinecone and hang it outside on a branch of a tree for the birds and squirrels...it's their Christmas too! Kids love to do that.Blooming Rose Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927029523022093567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-58755961426919721692010-12-08T21:28:02.054-08:002010-12-08T21:28:02.054-08:00This is my favorite type of holiday decorating and...This is my favorite type of holiday decorating and seems somehow especially suitable for the midwest and eastcoast...maybe because they have such an abundance of wonderful evergreen foliage.
