Sticks, branches and twigs! My all-time fav way to bring a little of the outdoors inside. They're versatile and go oh so well with rustic surroundings. Here's a few of my own favs:

    Hi Donna; Loved those wooden buttons when you first wrote about them and love them still. They remind me of antler buttons (which I am not sure I feel great about anymore). You continue to inspire and make me think hard about so many life choices. I love your very messy layered bed, it invites reading, drinking tea and blogging. You just jump in and try and you succeed. Thanks for hosting. I added my Garden Ramble this week.

    Donna, Thank you so much for hosing the BEST party every week!
    I love all things stick and branch related! The hubs thinks I may be insane, because I keep hauling random branches home, and hanging them up in the house!

    Have a great weekend!

    Howdy~ I decided it was about time to quit buying yogurt and tackle making it. I came up with a Homemade Crockpot Yogurt recipe (# 95 ) that is super easy to make yourself. Forget a "yogurt maker"! I hope you enjoy my recipe! Thanks for hosting the party and have a great day!
