Hey guys!! Happy Saturday to all of you!! I spent all most of my morning cleaning Hurricane Gainer. In the process I also did a few small revamps around the house. I wanted to share this one with you guys because I am so excited with the outcome:)! I went shopping with my youngest sister on Friday and visited a store I often drool over. While most of their items are slightly out of my shanty budget, I did find one piece that was not only so cute… but also thrifty! Here is what I did with it…
I found this great birch wood sleeve at PB for $12…. Woohoo!! I bought it… not knowing what I would do with it:) Today… while cleaning I decided it was time to change up my bar space a bit. I was able to pick a few branches of cotton on our last trip to Lubbock. I trimmed them up a bit, put them in a glass jar I found at Hobby Lobby and put the sleeve around it. I LOVE it! Simple but oh so cute:) And… for those of you that don’t frequent cotton farms you can also find a very cute substitute HERE. Now… for a few more pics…
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Sunday!

love bringing nature inside.
Wow, I have enjoyed your blog for sometime now, and my surprise to see you mention a town I lived near (90 miles, close in West TX terms). We have moved since, and miss the beauty of the white cotton filled fields 🙂
Oh I just adore your Christmas inspired metamorphosis. Hmmm there are a few cotton fields nearby. 🙂
What a cute idea. I love the look of cotton in the fields. It really does look like snow.

Crafty people are the best….that is so cute!
So cute! Wish we had cotton here!
Very cute. I got some cotton when I was visiting my inlaws in North Carolina. I had never seen it in it's natural state in person. There's something very cool about the flully cotton and the dried stems. Great idea.
Now that is just one darn cute idea. I guess if you couldn't find a cotton branch you could always improvise with a branch and some cotton balls!
Love it, too cute!

Ohhh I love it! Now I'm on the hunt for cotton fields. Does Cotton grow in the winter?
How stunning plus even though it not technically winter ~ it looks so wintery and fluffy like snow!
Love the "dart" in the back round! And Totally cute!!!
Cute idea. I actually have some cotton that I bought at IKEA and I have no idea where to put it. Thanks for the idea!!
Have a great Sunday yourself!
I think this is so cute. It reminds me of a snowy southern Christmas tree. And I love the name as you can imagine! Lol!
Merry Christmas and hugs…Tracy
How cute! I plant a little bit of cotton every year so I have some to decorate with. Love how you made simple so pretty.
this is cute but not your cutest work. 🙂
