Mellow Fruitfulness

My son and I took our dog a long walk tonight.  I love that time of day when the sun is setting across the fields; the light is so beautiful.  We remembered to bring a bag with us and collected some lovely, juicy blackberries.  As my son said, the stings from nettles (there always seems to be some around blackberry bushes) and blackberry thorns are a price worth paying for being able to collect this beautiful fruit.



Most of this batch of blackberries is now cooking in a cake in the oven.  I shall gather a lot more to make some jam soon.



You've probably seen them enough by now but I thought this latest pair of Mimosa earrings went with the blackberry-blue-pink theme of this post.  I like them in this colour way, very soft and romantic.

Best wishes,
Frivole

    2. Thanks for the info! I have that Workbasket book & I see that it's the mat on the cover. Never noticed it till I saw your on the blog. Guess I'll add it to my list of possible future projects.
