I used to gather them and put them in old milk cans on my back porch. Now I regret giving away those old milk cans which were my grandfathers when I moved. Dang it!

The smoke from burning them was supposed to be a natural bug repellent. I don't know if it was true, but I do remember loving the smell. As a kid we would get to pick these and then burn them.

They look like corndogs to me! LOL Interesting and so pretty! You are so creative Suzanne! My mother used to remove paint and repaint some old pieces - I remember the smells of paint or varnish remover...way back then, she was painting some pieces green (a med/dark pretty green...and burnt orange - I think that was the decor of the 60's LOL)...and my toy box which I still have..my little rocker I still have..small secretary...she even did an old radio chest, that later was used for thier liquor cabinet/glasses.
