I have to preface this post by saying that I am not into house decorating. I love looking at pictures of cool houses, but I can never decide on anything for my own house. I feel like every decision is a one shot make it or break it deal, even though that’s not true. I like taking pictures, but I can’t even decide which ones to get printed in which sizes to hang in which places. If I had a style, it would be called minimalist. The less trinkets to collect dust the better, especially since I don’t dust!<\/p>\n

However, I was inspired by a friend’s mantel decorating post to do something about our empty mantel, so I took a first step based on one of her recommendations. We happen to have quite a few sassafras trees which have cool looking buds (makes sense because they have cool looking leaves, worthy of a future post) and Steve was out cutting trees, so I grabbed a branch out of the brush pile, dug a vase out of the cupboard and ended up with this. I’m feeling rather proud of myself! Thanks, Cheri! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
