some time ago i found an old paper log roller at the thrift shop.
we have had so much fun recycling newspapers into these useful fire starter logs.
{don't worry dad, i'm not burning them in the fireplace}
we still have a shake shingle roof and my dad says its a sure ingredient for a fire because
of the embers this kind of paper would put off.
so we burn them in our outdoor pit.
but when i'm not burning a real fire indoors, i like to have these resting in my fireplace.
i love the simple look of them.
and equally like that it's another way to teach the boys about recycling.

Hi Kathi as if I just found my soul sister:) I love simple things, especially simple whites so I agree, those newspaper rolls look wonderful sitting in the basket. I am also a wannabe farmhouse owner...living at the beach:) Doesn't hurt to dream, right?
I peeked at the post below and those pies look delicious...and adorable! Is it difficult to make them like that? (i'm not great without directions in the kitchen:)
Anyway, have a great day and I'll see you around:)
Wow, what an impact, it is amazing what can look great.....there are so many whites to see, love the simplicity of the papers!
Hugs,
