    How to Make Your Own Pinecone Fire Starters

    ByMary Crozier October 15, 2024October 15, 2024

    With cooler weather either here or on the horizon, we all dream of cozying up in front of a roaring fire. With a plethora of pinecones falling this year around our mountain cabin, I try my hand at making my own pinecone fire starters. These fire starters make wonderful holiday gifts too. Join me in…

    ByMary Crozier September 18, 2024September 18, 2024

    During a recent trip to The Vintage Old Brick Market in Mesa, AZ, I find this large vintage picture with autumn tones. It was hanging high on a wall in the store and the fall vibes called out to me. When they took it down for me to examine it, I was disappointed that it…
