Nature Inspired Autumn Urn

I've had this Nature Inspired Autumn Urn in my head since last Spring, when I picked up a Victoria Magazine Special Edition, called Victoria Classic French Cottage . I'm hoping it will become a yearly publication, because it was filled with wonderful features of French and French Inspired Cottages. There was one particular image that completely captured my imagination, from an article called Living With The Past.

Here's the cover,

 I'm sure many of you also found it 

and soaked up all the amazing inspiration.

You can find an entry on the feature

 at the Victoria Magazine Blog, here.

This amazing antique urn filled with a grouping of natural elements,

 plus a few birds nesting in the abundance of antlers.

 This is just an inspiration for me, 

I wanted more woodsy naturals along with just a few deer antlers.

This is very Old World and a tad bit "dark and creepy",

 but wonderful all the same.

After putting my interpretation together for the coffee table,

then photographing it on the Dining Room table,

I made a new spot for it here it the Entry.

Basically, it's two sets of deer antlers,

A few garland pieces,

some preserved leaves,

a few pine cones,

a nest or two,

and some of my fine feathered friends.

 Momma Cardinal is keeping watch over the territory,

so she needed to be on the highest perch.

Nature provides the most amazing inspiration!
