Winter :: Feathers
The pheasant shooting season closed this week in the UK. There are many pheasants around our house (the males are truly impressive) and one of the huntsmen gave us a pair of them (literally). I thought that plucking them would be quite an adventure but it turns out it’s not as bad as that. And, in addition to a delicious lunch, I’m now left with a box of extraordinary feathers to use in all kinds of projects – I’ve already made a wreath and some arrangements for the mantel but I’m sure other things will follow. Have a great weekend!

Winter :: Branches
I enjoy making our home reflect the rhythm of the seasons. Outdoors, most trees are bare and one can admire their scultural beauty. Indoors, branches have room to breathe and will hopefully bloom in the near future. In addition to the crab apple branches on the mantel, I cut some cherry and pear twigs and put them in water. And I couldn’t resist making a new wreath for our dining room.
