If it's autumn, it must be time for me to make a cinnamon broom! Every autumn I make one or two of these brooms, and place them in different parts of the house, so that the sweet, spicy scent of cinnamon makes the house smell warm and inviting. Cinnamon has such a nice scent, the only other scent I enjoy more would be clove. MMMMMmmmmmmm... it just gives me such a calming feeling. Cinnamon is a so good for you, it has been used for many years in herbal remedies for calming the stomach, and is often used in aphrodisiac cooking. So ladies, never underestimate the power of a good Snickerdoodle! ;)

oh pretty Carly! I didn't know you were "crafty"!
The closest I came to something like that was to buy a small bag of clover (i think) smelling pine cones to put in a room for the neat smell...
You make it look so easy! I used to buy these all the time but haven't seen them in a while.
Hey Carly! I bought a bag of cinnamon smelling pinecones for my house and put them in a bowl. NOT creative! Cinnamon broom with fall decoration? Very lovely!
That's so pretty! I love the smell of cinnamon, too. I think it has antioxidant properties, or some other health benefit besides the ones you mentioned. I know John goes through a couple of boxes of ground cinnamon a year.
I'm not at all good with crafts, but maybe I'll go buy a bag of cinnamon-scenteed pinecones.
Beautiful creation, and I can almost smell it in my mind. :-) I'm not sure where I would get the ingredients for something like that around here, but at least I could put some stick cinnamon and whole cloves in a saucepan of water and boil it for a few minutes. ;-) You are inspiring me!
oh my, very pretty, perfect of November!
Marie
oh, I love the smell of cinnamon and cloves, too! Yum!
Hi Carly,
Lovely idea! I love the smell of cinnamon (and cloves), too!
I love the smell of cinnamon too. Neat arrangement of colors, perfect for the season!
Love your cinnamon broom and also your last feline Friday--adorable! >"< Sassy
Oh, wow! Instructions and everything. Oops. Did you say a glue gun? I've been banned from using that around the house, LOL!
Beautiful arrangements ! One can see that you love to do it ! Thanks for your kind comment on my first entry !
