Fresh-cut trees have a wonderful smell by themselves, but they do wane over time. You can add the scent of the holidays to your tree - and bring a freshness to an artificial one - with homemade ornaments that offer a treat for the nose as well as the eyes. Marcie McGoldrick, editorial director of holiday and crafts at Martha Stewart Living, says balsam sachets, made from small drawstring muslin bags, are easy and fill your home with a sense of the outdoors.

While abstract art in its character would not seem to be about "Real Things in the World" - the title of Joe Fyfe's exhibition at David Lusk Gallery - the artist reminds us that color and pattern and relationship are as real as oranges and mountains and that there are many ways of imitating nature and the works of human hands. Real Things in the World" is a small but impeccable exhibition that beautifully balances exuberant color with formal restraint and the seemingly random with the fastidious. Fyfe, a New Yorker showing in Memphis for the first time, employs common materials - paper bags, felt, cotton towels and muslin, as well as crayon and watercolor - to create works that contain strong graphic elements.
Amanda Nolan lives in a yurt. It's a round, cozy, surprisingly spacious building which she built for $14,000 two years ago on a plot of land in the Lincoln County town of Alna. She lives there, off the grid except for the Internet, with her boyfriend and business partner, Joe, her two daughters, a pair of tawny-colored cats named Nori and Chester and an enormous, jet-black Newfoundland named Finn. Outside, a small herd of goats bleats as visitors arrive, slowly making their way down the long driveway that leads to her homestead. I own my home outright at 29. I don't have a mortgage," she said. "I don't think many other people can say that. It's pretty cool being debt-free.

Dear Martha: How can I prevent wet spills from causing stains on my sisal rugs? A: I have sisal area rugs covering the beautiful oak floors in several rooms of my house in Maine. My dogs adore these natural- fiber carpets, but every so often one of them will have an accident.
