Every year we love to go out and explore the change in season from summer to autumn. As we say goodbye of warm heady days of fragrant flowers these change to the dry seed heads ready for a new year and the crisp nippy air lets us know that soon we will be snuggled up in front of the fire. We watch as each day leave change from green to brown and hedgerows burst forth with burnt orange foliage and bright reds berries.
One thing we love to do is collect nature treasure we find on our walks and in autumn turn these into autumn crowns.
Sophie is such a nymph of the woods she loves all thing nature and is not afraid to pick up a toad or a daddy long legs to have a closer look and wont fear tromping through the undergrowth wadding past nettle and thistle to see what is growing.
Here is some of the treasure she found we especially love the acorn burst out of what looked like another seed case.
When we got home Sophie helped as we plated up 3 strands of willow and she used the plated holes to tuck her nature treasures into to make her autumn crown.
We have been making these on the farm here too. I love the use of willow for the base, we usually use ivy but I'm guessing in the absence of willow hazel would work too being bendy. Your photos are wonderful and sophie looks quite the lady of the season in her crown. thank you for sharing your autumn treasure hunt on Country Kids
