Dressing up Container Gardens for Fall

I wish I had more time. Truth is, I don't always have time to garden. So, when fall comes, and my pots are starting to sit empty, I fill them with rocks, and free pine cones from down the street. Our neighbors have trees that drop pine cones, so I walk by, take my plastic bag, and load them up. Then, at the end of the season, I burn them in my outdoor fire pit.

What do you do to spruce up your container gardens?

Needs quite a few more pine cones. I only picked up a small amount the other day.

Vintage Paperdolls for Download - Betsy McCallhttp://tpettit.best.vwh.net/dolls/pd_scans/betsy_mccall/index.html

Do you remember Paper Dolls? I do. I could spend hours dressing and changing their clothes. Well paper dolls are back. The link below will take you to the 1st 10 years of Betsy McCall and her clothing. What a fun winter activity. Or print it out as a decoupage project. Either way tons of fun. All you need is a printer, plenty of ink, some old file folders (to glue her onto for stability), or you can go by your local print shop and get a heavier grade white paper to run through your printer, either way, make some memories.
