Excerpts

All-natural materials make eco-friendly sense these days. Sometimes, you just can't improve on Mother Nature! Anyone with a single pine tree (or more) in their yard can easily collect pinecones in a bucket as they fall throughoutthe year and then have them readily available for use in an evergreen or other floral creation. In fact, one wife trained her husband to save fallen pinecones from the yard in a special bucket instead of simply discarding them.
