I found this beautiful lichen covered twig on a bed

of fallen autumn leaves while I was out for a chilly walk this week.

Tiny

 The theme this week is Tiny.

I found the tiniest little tea cup and made a miniature nest in it.

It is sat on an ivy leaf to give you an idea of size.

November

This week the theme is November.

I was given an acorn vase recently - so I found an acorn.

I soaked it in water for 24 hours, wrapped it in kitchen towel until it sprouted and then placed it on the acorn vase and waited.

I don't associate November with new beginnings but this is my first attempt at growing a tree and so far it's going well!

Stripes

 This week the theme is Stripes, and I'm afraid I've had to hit the archives as real life has kept me so busy!  

These photos are of a dry stone wall by one of my favourite artists Andy Goldsworthy.  We saw some of his amazing work while we were holidaying in the Lake District a few years ago.  

If you haven't seen his work before he is definitely worth a Google!

Cold

The theme this week is Cold.  

The garden is chilly, wet and uninviting but we need to get out and tidy it up before winter sets in!

A Book

 The theme this week is A Book.

This beautiful book was a charity shop find - I love the marbling on it, especially on the page edges, which I thought was rather unusual.

October

 This week the theme is October.

I picked up these glossy berries on a local walk - I'm not sure what they are but I love the colour!
