There is so much beauty and colour in the forest on a cold winter day and when you slow down and deliberately look for it, you will discover an abundance of  red, orange, blue and green gems. 

About a month ago I saw a small tea cup placed as a centrepiece that held sprigs of spruce, cedar, pine and a few tiny carnations.  I was taken by its simplicity and beauty and was inspired to create my own forest bouquet by gathering beautiful items on my forest bathing walks.    

In my first forest bouquet, I gathered sprigs of blue spruce, white pine and cedar and also found crimson red and black berries.  It was very easy to put together in a vase and each time I look at it, I feel a connection to the forest where I did my gathering.

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

Vincent Van Gogh

Be well and stay safe.
