September wreath

What a busy month September is turning out to be. I thought I'd better share my September wreath with you before the month passes by.

My wreath started out with a few simple rose hips glued on, but after an evening on Pintrest it looked rather sad in comparison to the beautiful creations out there. So an up do was needed.

A quick wonder round the garden with my secateurs, and I was beginning to gather some seasonal inspiration.

Now I just had to make it presentable.

I began to gently fold in the most flexible pieces, and slowly layer it up.

I then added these beautiful rusty coloured dried leaves,

and finished with these gorgeous berries.

As flower arranging isn't my forte, I'm quite pleased with how she's turned out.

And I've proudly hung her on the front door.

September is the new January

September is the new January

It's hard not to get excited about September and the beginning of my favourite season. It's as good a time as any to return to this neglected space,and share simple things. I have missed blogging and taking photographs, and recording moments that would otherwise fade in memory.I'm looking forward to capturing this beautiful time of year.

I shall be enjoying the last throws of my wild flower bed,

and picking our first ever sweetcorn harvest.

Gathering sloes, 

and turning them into Christmas tipple.

There'll be conkers,

rosehips,

and sunflowers aplenty

 as I put them to use, and slowly decorate our home for Autumn.

A fresh new season and a new canvas to play with,

can't wait.
