Natural (and free) decor



First, you find some woods.  Then, you gather goodies like gnarly apples on branches, old birdie nests, pine cones, and acorn tops.  Finally, arrange items so that they are pleasing to the eye.

See-like this!  Natural and free decor-sometimes it's the best kind.  When you are sick of it-just chuck it out the window!

You know how stores sell fake cobwebs for Halloween decor?  No, no, no-don't waste your money-let your spiders make them for you.  Natural and free!  After Halloween-tear them down with your Webster or your broom, and by next Halloween your spiders will probably have made you some more! 

There you have it folks-my recommendations for natural and free decor!

I hope you have a beautiful October day!

I am happy to see that my house isn't the only home where spiders like to roam! The nest was a cute idea. I'm already thinking of ideas for Christmas. Like, where I can put some real greens from outside in here. I'll have to post a picture of my fall porch! I just know you would love it!!!!

Hi, it's great timing you posted this today, as we collected pine cones yesterday!
I just popped them in the garden, but I like the idea of decorating with them- great idea!

The spiders love my house. We are a very friendly home for spiders since we always forget to knock down the webs! Oh well, as you suggested, we are naturally decorated. I love your birdie nest full of pinecones and I especially love the price tag--free!!

I discovered a few of those free spider webs in my basement yesterday. You are so right, why spend the money!
