I just love bringing the outdoors in, don’t you??  That is why I love my Christmas/Winter Sticks.  Everyone who enters our home comments on my Christmas Sticks.  These sticks truly make me smile every time I look at them.

 

I got them last year when the gardener was cutting down a tree right outside our balcony.  I asked him if I could have a few branches.  He looked at me funny, and said, “Well, okay.”  Little did he know what I had envisioned for these bare branches. 

I just love these branches all year long.  They are right next to me while I write my blog posts.

But, adding a little winter just makes me smile even more!!

Don’t they look so happy with my birdhouses??

Another view…

 I have a thing about icicles and snowflakes, too.

I think I might even leave the birdhouses, snowflakes, and icicles up though January.  What do you think???

Thanks Mr. Gardener for my free branches!!  They make me smile everyday!!!
