It is the time for long walks in the mountains and leisurely strolls though the park gathering treasures of the season. Pine cones, seed pods, mossy branches, mushrooms and colorful leaves abound. Just like the child that fills their pockets with the treasures of the season, I come home with a bag or shirt tail or basket or yes, even my pockets filled with seasonal collectibles. This is a wonderful activity for the whole family and the bonus is the bounty of beautiful design material for decorating your home.
