Thursday of last week brought wind and rain which lasted through Saturday. Just before winds from the big storm predicted for Saturday blew in, there was a bit of calm and even a few glimpses of blue sky between the clouds. Since the rain had let up I decided to walk over to the park. How was I to know that there would be so many treasures to fill my pockets and arms? I decided to use my newfound treasures for today's vase.

Acorns, horse chestnuts, and magnolia cones fill the ceramic ginkgo leaf containers that usually sit on the counter to be filled with whatever comes home in my pockets. The nest and skeleton were already there.

Many thanks to the host of In A Vase on Monday, Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, for her years of posting and hosting!
Chestnut husks and oak leaves in the kitchen.
Also found in the park was a piece of a fallen branch of something with gorgeous blue-green lichen. The glass jewels came from the stained glass room in the basement.
A cedar shake was used as the base for this last collection of found objects.
