Cranberry Festival and Bittersweet...,,
Hi all... the weather in my neck of the woods has been wonderful!!! Cool, crisp and the fall foliage has been spectacular!!!! On Sunday I had some me time and went to The Cranberry Festival in a small town called Chatsworth . Everything about it had that " small" town feel. There were hundreds of vendors selling their wares... crafts, food , fashion , you name it!!!! I came upon a booth selling herbs and various plants. I was immediately drawn to a bushy, twiggy plant with bright orange berries.....my mind went into overdrive!!!! Oh what could be done with this .... A swag... a wreath... garland ? Well I ended up doing something very simple. I put it in an old zinc bucket and placed it on my mantel. LOVE IT!!!!! Colors are great and it looks so interesting. I just have to make sure my pup doesn't get in to it....poison for pets!!!! Well... Till my next adventure Stay Peaceful. Debbie:)
Looks so Fallish!!!!
Leaves start out orange... then open and our red ....love Bittersweet !!!!!

I was lucky enough to have a friend send me some bittersweet. I just put mine in a glass trifle bowl. I love the look of it - this is the first time I have ever seen real bittersweet. I love how you put yours in a bucket.

Love those things - they are so natural, imperfect, and rustic looking.
ReplyDeleteThe bittersweet looks great. You set a perfect Fall vignette.
