I was lamenting on JoAnn’s facebook page the other day that all the pinecones they sell are overly scented with cinnamon. Seriously, if you walked into a JoAnn or Michael’s during the holiday season you know what I mean. It is overpowering. (I’ve actually heard they have to keep them outside or in the vestibule, because the employees complained about the scent too.) I have some pinecone projects planned for Christmas and wanted unscented, you know natural, pinecones. I’d picked up a few from my neighborhood walks, but nowhere near enough. Then I got here to Michigan and hit a bonanza on the walking trail behind Matt’s parents house.
With a little help from my 4 year old nephew, I’m heading home with a shopping bag full of different pinecones. Not one of them scented like cinnamon!
