As the cold winds begin to blow and branches, boughs and leaves begin to litter our lawns, you could look this as just a a pesky clean up job ~ or as a great opportunity for fashioning creative and useful host/hostess gifts {or personal fireplace staples} for the holiday season. I don’t know about you, but I love a roaring fire during this time of year, and now I can light one with ease.
Look at this gorgeous basket of beautiful, colorful and fragrant firestarter bundles a guest brought to my house the other night — what a useful, natural way to help warm up someones home as the temperatures begin to drop.
She used twine to bind together bundles of lichen covered branches, fragrant greens, twigs, driftwood, pine cones, bark covered branches and even some honeycomb.
This gorgeous gift has me looking forward to our next storm!
