here's one that I turned into a pocket to hold drieds...
here is a side-view of some Prairie Schooler and Homespun Elegance designs...
this one I've made another little pocket and tucked in dried yarrow
and my spider-web scissors...
I've also hung my witch-scissors and some other scissors for fun!

I finished it off by tucking in some dried moss
and then wrapping a poppy-colored chenille trim as garland ~

Love your finds -- the orange/white doily looks great under the tree!
Sounds like you and Robin had a fun-filled day. I can't think of a better way to spend a summer Tuesday! (or Wed., Thurs., Fri., etc.!!!)
