A Knotty Spirit

Don cut me some cedar branches that were full of blue berries and I thought they would look nice on our mantle. I have loads of vintage glass ornaments so they went into my glass vessels since my teensy pencil tree can only hold so many.

I got a chance to move things around and appreciate this cute little owl that is prominent in the knotty pine paneling.

I have a feeling this feature was by design as a builder would certainly have appreciated the unique beauty.

We have several other little faces on our walls and, and even though wood paneling is "out" and painted walls are "in", I couldn't bear to hide them under paint.
