Back in August I introduced my tree to you all. The bees have been on the tree since August but the time had come for a change so they have gone back to their hive until next summer.
I asked for suggestions and Ang at Tracing Rainbows suggested odd earrings. I don't wear earrings so don't have any odd ones but she set me thinking and when I saw a pack of autumn charms on a market stall I made plans.
I bought a pack of cheap kidney-shaped earring hooks and slotted a charm on each one. My tree now has mushrooms, a squirrel, a hedgehog, several different sorts of pumpkins, some maize, leaves, an acorn and other bits and pieces. They are too small to photograph well on the tree.
And I found an autumn themed vase in our church charity shop so it joined the tree. (I'm inspired by Sue in Suffolk who regularly does seasonal displays but she's streets ahead of me.)
That's so effective, really brightens up the corner
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's by the door so it makes me smile as I come into the room.
DeleteI do love the simplistic shape of bare tree's, smaller treasures do look good.
ReplyDeleteI think I will enjoy varying things.
DeleteThat's a lovely display. You and Sue-in-Suffolk are display trendsetters
ReplyDeleteOoh! Aren't we just!
DeleteYour tree looks lovely with all the autumn decorations! The vase is a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteIt was a happy find.
DeleteWhat a brilliant idea and your tree looks lovely now that it’s time for the bees to have a sleep. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI like your tree with lights - must fish out my pumpkin lights for October. The little vase is lovely.
