Seasons Round Exchange: Harvest

Autumn Equinox greetings to you all!
Today feels like a good day to share about the Seasons Round Exchange: Harvest which I signed up to in the Summer. All the participants who have blogs are listed on the sidebar on the link above and there are some really lovely ones. There is also a flickr group where people are posting their offerings - I'm really enjoying seeing what others have come up with.

These are the items I sent to my exchange partner Cristina


A large kite paper harvest star, a gnome that Cameron and I made together which is stuffed with sheep's wool, a little wooden platform for the gnome, a corn dolly from a local farmers market and some autumnal leaves for scattering.




We received Cristina's parcel in the post this morning. Here is what she sent us


A gnome, a coconut top, a knitted and felted mat in autumnal colours, a needle felted pumpkin and some ginko leaves from her garden. Thank you very much to Cristina. Our favourite is the pumpkin with the lovely curly stem!




Our seasonal/nature table is already looking so full with items we've collected, made or couldn't resist on etsy. It's larger than our usual seasonal/nature table area but it is our favourite season and it's also nicely hiding a bit of the wall where the plumbers made a mess of installing our new boiler!


We plan to pin many, many collected autumn leaves onto the background fabric.


If you fancy taking part in an exchange like this - signups for the next one Seasons Round Exhange: Light begin on October 1st!

  2. Hi Hannah,

    Thanks so much for the beautiful exchange. Kelly really loved the corn dolly (it is wheat?)
    and also the gnome. We love gnomes!
    Everything went on our nature table right away with the star on the wall.
    I hope you and Cameron have lots more fun Autumn adventures!
    Cristina
