Picked from the hedgerows near our village, the simple foliage beautifully decorates my Yule wreath. Below is my heart of Yule indoor wreath. I love the simple art of wreath making, anyone can do it by walking about the countryside and selecting fresh foliage some with berries to cut gently with secateurs. Remember to thank nature for it’s offerings to you and you’ll enjoy your foliage and berries for the entire festive season. You can also attach pearls and other crystals, dried fruit and ribbons or burlap.
Happy Yule. Happy winter solstice, thanksgiving and christmas when it comes. Love from Lavender Moon. š š

How beautiful you have made this festive wreath.. š and every thing Mother Nature has provided š
Thanks Sue. Collecting the local plants felt as special as making and hanging my wreaths. š
Nothing like gathering in our hedgerows š
I love to forage about in the hedgerows. Our sloe, damson and rosehip gin will be ready to sample soon. My hand picked hazelnuts were small but delicious.xx
I always would go nutting with my dad.. I still have his nut crackers he would never be without them in his pocket come hazel nut picking time š
That’s a lovely memory to have Sue and I bet modern nut crackers aren’t as good as his. Hugsxx
