My Hubby brought home some beautiful hedge apples yesterday.
I love their cheerful green color.
They remind me of my grandma Ruby.
She put them in her closets to get rid of bugs.
I use them to decorate for Autumn.
Click on the picture below to see how I decorated with them last year.
Go here to see all kinds of pretty hedge apple ideas.

I think those things are the perfect color, texture, and size. I know that I didn't know what they are...had no idea that they discourage bugs...have never seen them in my corner. I still must do research. They're a wonderful decorating accent that's for certain.
ReplyDeleteThat was thoughtful of Bob to bring you an Autumn treat.
ReplyDeleteNaturally, they don't grow here. Sigh. And I want some! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey, I remember those from last year. I hadn't heard of them before, and looked them up. Guess they are not a Utah thing :)
ReplyDeleteI still love them, and love the color.... gorgeous!
Lucky you !!
Happy Tuesday.

I love them too! They look great with the ribbon wrapped around them. There's a tree out by the pond behind our house. I can see it weighted down with horse apples. (that's what we call them)
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying all of your fall decorations, Carol Until today I had not seen a hedge apple, Very interesting,and pretty to decorate with. Thanks for sharing.

I remember the hedge apples from growing up, them being used to keep the bugs away. I like the way you use them best.
ReplyDeleteI havn't seen these in years. Love your pretty vignettes, they are so fun. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing these as a child when we lived in northern Alabama. They must have made an impression! I have never seen them in my part of Georgia, though.
