Pine tree symbolism includes creativity, life and longevity . These area all things I wish for you all and my little way of thanking each and every one of you for your continued support here on this place where I share, on flickr and of course in my etsy shop. Thank you once again for a very successful shop update. After the custom merfish are made and the packages all packed and sent I am going to focus on preparing a parcel to be sent off to Paris, work on my "big secret event" and of course deck the halls, bake some cookies and make some Christmas gifts.
I have started to collect natural materials and have started to deck the porch a little.
Oh and that was my bench monday shot on the porch with me wearing my daughter's crazy slippers that I have nicknamed the wild things. I plan on making my own version of these when I get a chance , replacing the fur with large colorful pompoms.
Oooh pompoms ... so I guess Mahtyld is going to loooove them ! :)
So glad the shop update was a hit, I had no doubt about it. I was distracted doing something quite important at that time, and when I realized the time it was, it was too late ... :( uh. Next time I'll be in the line ! :)
Good luck for the orders & shipping. I can't wait to see what you'll be sending to Paris, and your big secret event ... you get me really excited now ! xoxoxo

I love that pine cone display!!! We've been collecting a bunch and I made a little centerpiece... nothing that compares to yours... so nice to know what they signify. Wild and crazy slippers make for happy feet.

i love how you share the symbolism of pine cones. i love pine cones. they have a special place in my heart because since my daughter was three (she is almost six now) she has declared herself a pine cone collector and we are always on the look out for perfect pine cones (and they are all over the house too)! i love your felt pine cone, what a creative and lovely inspiration you are margie :)

Ha ha Sonia you just kill me !!!
I was about to say that I'd love the pompom-version better because well ... first I am partial to pompoms :p (and I'm not too keen on fur ...)
Also, wow wow wow ! I love your porch and this early winter version of your porch decoration is truly beautiful.
I love showing your blog to my mum (she doesn't go online) when I visit (and I often send her images from here in emails, she adores them indeed !)
she is crazy about your porch. Being a Canadian living in Provence she really misses having one. And seing yours makes her happy.
These images are gonna travel to Provence by email, tonight :)

I love the splash of green and red amidst the pinecones! Really beautiful!

Love the texture of the sticky waxy pinecones against the smooth red wood.
