Autumn in a Box
September 22, 2008
Happy First Day of Autumn !!!!!
Chloe and I were inspired to make an autumn in a box by Bloggedy blog blog. It is a nice way to remember what we love and look forward to the season. As we find or think of things, we will add them to our box. Thank you for the idea Loopy and Saucy !!!!!
In our box we put, acorns, cinnamon sticks, tea cup (for tea), candle, straw, leaves, knitted bag, mushroom, apple, pumpkin, deer, berries, dried corn, seed pods and pine-cones.
How darling!
We've got baskets filled with Autumn's Gifts of Nature like pinecones, leaves, & gourds. Pumpkin loves to play with it and sort things out.
I like the box idea though. We may try that next!

Dear Clarice,
I simply LOVE this Autumn in a Box! You and Chloe did a beautiful job! I love everything you included in your box and how it is decorated! I am always so inspired by your (and your girl's) creativity! I hope you had a happy first day of fall!!! I also enjoyed the link you shared!

Hi Clarice,
I love the box that you and Chloe made. I have a beautiful Autumn box that Rosa made for me, last year in a cigar box. It is scrapped in beautiful old fashioned scrap pictures, and she filled it with bits of Autumn. I remember, that last year, that box inspired Saucy to make one for a friend. Rosa was inspired by boxes that she saw in a toy store on a visit to England. I think it's wonderful how sharing in the blog world creates such inspiration for everyone.
All my best.

Hi Clarice, thanks for stopping by. You do autumn/fall so much better in the States than we do here in England. I love the box. Hey! If little Sweetpea finds the way to Brambly Hedge please ask her to share the secret then we can all visit the mice. All the best from Enland, Eli.

That is just a beautiful idea! I really love it! I have an extra hat box I can use. I'll see if my daughter want to join in. I'll have to check out that blog. Can't wait to see the pumpkin!
