To celebrate the fourth anniversary of In a Vase on Monday hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, participants were challenged to create an anniversary contribution in something other than a vase. It being the season of pumpkin spice everything, I chose a pumpkin spice coffee bag. To see what containers and arrangements others came up with, click here.

Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' leaves, a branch of Euonymus europaeus 'Red Ace' several of Cotoneaster franchetii, some Cotinus coggygria 'Grace' leaves, and Clerodendrum trichotomum berries found their way into the bag.

Happy fourth anniversary of In a Vase on Monday, Cathy! Thank you for challenging us to bring something inside from our gardens or foraged nearby to brighten our week.

Seems like it needed a pumpkin and some spices so...
Why not use the coffee maker as well? Mondo grass and Aurum italicum were hanging around in a vase from September so they got popped into the top. Unfortunately all of my pumpkins tiny enough to fit into the carafe are at school so dragon fruit shells and more leaves had to do.
