Found things and painted leaves
Today we're back to autumn temperatures and it felt right to bring back these very liquid colour leaves from my walk this morning. Autumn leaves are perfect for watercolours.
Finding pretty things on my walk is fun.
Finding the contents of my daughter's pockets in the washing machine, more funny than fun.
And wearing a pretty AdjustaBraid necklace as a bracelet, very fun. They're available here in this pretty online shop :)
The sun has gone away today so photos are going a little dark and grey :(
Thank you very much for the birthday wishes. I started out celebrating by sharing hot chocolate in bed with my two babes and the rest of my day was just as special.
Happy Tuesday!

Aw, thanks for wearing the necklace (or whatever it may be), they're honored to be worn by you, you know ?
Happy October to you my friend oxoxo hugs

Your leaves are beautiful, Joanie. I won one of Sonia's adjustabraid necklaces and love wearing it as a bracelet too.

I love that you collect as you wander. I do too! That is one of the things i appreciate about you - that you find joy and beauty in nature and allow it to inspire your days and dreams.
Your leaf paintings are gorgeous!

Hello! I searched your blog for an email address but could not find one so here I am leaving a comment... I am hosting a swap, set to launch in a few weeks. I was wondering whether I could use a photo and link back to your blog/tutorial. If you don't mind, I'd love to email you with further details...
Thanks for your consideration!
