Pine cones

 Pine cones (and other cones for that matter) are
such a great decor resource for Winter.

I love decorating with them for Christmas and

it is just such a thing my mother and I used to do

when I was a wee little girl. We'd spray them

white, silver or gold and hang them in the tree or

put them on the Christmas table with candles & twigs.

Though these glammed up cones look great -
especially mixed with a few rustic basics,
a bowl of natural pine cones is just fabulous and

perhaps more in line with a Swedish style Christmas..

Here is some more inspiration for you.

I realize that some of these pictures are a little bit out
of date, but I love the ideas behind the actual execution..

Happy decorating!
