It was a Beautiful Sunday here at the Homestead! Between the chores of stacking wood & clearing brush, I snuck off to harvest some Rosehips~ That can be a painful job too...but rewarding in the end :)
Here's what I collected and bunched today. I thought the color of the Rosehips look great against the ornamental Kale on the table~ Here's another Kale that has gotten HUGE!
Love the Color~

Rosehip Harvest

My name is Andrea Mengel and I live with my family in the hilltown of Huntington Massachusetts. Our 1783 saltbox home sits on 20 beautiful acres of fields and woodlands that we enjoy tremendously! Here I get inspired to make all the goodies that I sell at the ~The Crow's Nest Primitive Shoppe~

I picked some of the rosehips today too! I just love them! They do look beautiful with the kale!
ReplyDeleteThe rosehips will look beautiful in dried bouquets, though I guess a lot of people use them for teas as they are high in vitamin C. Still they are extremely pretty and would brighten any floral arrangement.
ReplyDeleteThe ornamental Kale is lovely, truly am amazed by the larger one with its intense vibrant color.
Thanks Jen!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your mom will let you cut some of those rosehips :) The ones that I gather are wild w/white flowers in the spring ~ they produce clusters of bright red hips in the fall. They just aren't so easy to get to...ouch!
