BOUQUETS WITH BRANCHES AND OTHER YARD FINDS

While I'm waiting for blooms from my garden, I love to use branches from my yard as bouquets.  I have a huge demijohn on the landing in my foyer.   It's the vase for some birch branches.

Sometimes I paint them.

I painted these branches too and placed them into a vase with shells and sand to support them.

Branches don't have to be bare to work as a bouquet.  I have Nandina shrubs in my yard.
 They're a bouquet source all year long.

I clipped some branches from my cedar tree and wrapped them around some spheres
 inside a dough bowl on my dining room table.

My yard pickings aren't limited to branches.  I even invade my neighbor's yard.   She has a  huge tree that drops the most wonderful seed pods.  I added them to an urn and complemented them with some of my shed antlers.

What do you bring in from outdoors to use inside?
