seasons round exchange
Kyrie from Are So Happy has so cleverly organized a Seasons Round Exchange to inspire more magic in all of our nature table projects that we share with our children. This Autumn Harvest i was coupled with the lovely Emma whose words and photos i have long admired and followed. On this appropriate Fall afternoon our package arrived! yay. i’m so happy to have my hands on these beautiful autumn picnic adventure prints and i’m determined now to find myself a thermos flask to hold the hot cocoa on our own such adventures. So far the bar smells dark and delicious and i know it’s going to go well melted in our raw milk.
Little A wants to build this needle felted bear a den to hibernate in but i think first he has some Autumn harvesting and picnicking to do.
Thank you Emma for your gifts, thoughtful words, seed gathering games and the feather which was promptly stuck into the little one’s chapeau. xo.
In exchange, little A and i sent off to England a play silk which we dyed in onion skins along with some of our other favorite Autumn nature table crafts. For Emma’s family. (Her own photo collage is so beautiful);
Our own nature table space holds some things similar along with some seasonal books.
there are many uses for a play silk;
Little “A” is demonstrating the favourite use for a playsilk in our house
