Fall Backyard Naturals for a Vintage Tote

No matter the season or weather, our multitude of trees seem to find various ways to litter sticks and tree debris. Right now it's acorn leaf clusters, walnuts and hickory nuts. We try to keep on top of it by getting out weekly and doing some yard clean up. My husband does most of the work, but hey, I'm there to cheer him on. Most of the yard junk heads to the yard waste disposal, but I can quickly get waylaid if I take time to look for interesting natural specimens. Taking a break I grabbed one of my chippy white vintage totes and put together a fun seasonal gathering of natural organic elements. (okay maybe a few faux pieces hopped in for more great color)

Fill a Vintage Tote for Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Weekend, everyone. Over the years, I've realized this is a holiday, (like many holidays) that can be so bittersweet. I still have my mom, but I know so many of you have moms in heaven. And for those that have lost children or never had children, it's a sad reminder. So to all of you, my prayers are with you today in joy and sorrow.
