| Have Yourself a Pine Cone Christmas | | Pine cones exist in Nature to carry and disperse the seeds of Pine trees, but for more than 3,000 years, these intricate, ingeniously designed objects have inspired a broad array of decorative accents and motifs. While the forms, sizes, and styles of Pine cones may appear year-round on items from finials to garden statuary, these woodland icons achieve star status at holiday time when natural cones and painted or frosted versions festoon wreaths, runners, and table linens, and their irresistible forms provide a shape for stocking holders, candles, place-card holders, and more. Gathered here are some of our favorite and most festive Pine cone accents. Add these enduring and timeless ornaments to your holiday decorations and make them part of the celebratory traditions at your house. Many of these items also make terrific gifts. |
