It reminds me of a Swedish tradition (since the 1930&#39;s or so, I think) called påskris. There they take branches you can force to bloom in springtime and tie colorful feathers to them to liven up the look until the leaves come.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00165124899841322138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27337301.post-52162991260156989762010-04-01T22:20:43.295-04:002010-04-01T22:20:43.295-04:00Betz, lovely idea! I just blogged about my front hall creation. I love them! So much cuter to have the bright rainbow of color in with my pussy willow branches instead of them just being plain.<br />http://squirrelacorns.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/pussy-willows-in-wool/Tina @ Squirrel Acornshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04013136092689516511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27337301.post-53292118131549934052010-03-27T23:37:50.394-04:002010-03-27T23:37:50.394-04:00Beautiful!

I saw something similar in a shop window in Japantown in San Francisco except they were teensy origami flower buds on branches.

So the other day I picked up some 1/4&quot; white pompoms (I like the reality of them) that looked slightly oblong in the package. I think these will make great pussy willows. Collected some branches yesterday so I will be working on this project shortly. Thanks for the fantastic but simple idea and especially thanks for sharing! These will look great on my table.Karen L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11803082902611080914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27337301.post-36282834305210701142010-03-17T07:49:34.601-04:002010-03-17T07:49:34.601-04:00I didn&#39;t really find the same material, but it ended up a nice decoration anyway.

I have tried in vain to grow pussy willow bushes in my yard several times but it seems the deer love them as much as I do and they gobble them up! This is such a beautiful idea.
