Yesterday when I went to town to get a few things, I saw that the stores all had these wonderful brough filled urns with red twigs for sale.. they were selling for 40 to 70 dollars depending on the size of them.. Now I liked them, but I took one look and did my typical head shake at the price.. uhhh

So today when running the hounds, we took along a backpack, and tree pruners, I collected, red and orange branches, two kinds of Spruce broughs and some moss off old stumps.. and hauled it home, filled up my biggest recyled black plant pot (that one of my fruit tree’s came in) with straw and set about filling it up, and then set the moss out around it, and there you have it, this is the same as the store one’s other then they all had a big ribbon bow in the middle, which was point in fact the only thing I didn’t like about them.. so didn’t add one to mine but if I decide to change my mind, I have left over ribbon upstairs that I can use..

While it may not show in the photo, as I cropped it, this baby is big, that black pot is two feet high on its own to give you a idea of scale..
