Mammal Muse Thursday RETURN #2 THINGS GLEANED

Mammal Muse

"Those who wish to sing always find a song."

Treasures From My Trip

A crafts gift shop reflecting

 one glorious late November day
where spiders never rest

Inside
A Porcelain Moon

Gourd Art

Beautiful Pottery and Jewelry

Each customer is given the choice

of one free essential oil or soap

I chose one oil and bought two

very pure and potent scents

(only $4 each)

Next I'll make little gifts of blended
and almond-oil extended
Perfumes
(I've been saving bottles)

Dyeing Projects

From the shed of my country friend
this lovely rusty piece of hardware

From the forest

Hemlock and cones

Hulled walnuts

(Only a sledge hammer opens these, but squirrels
do fine with their teeth. We left hundreds for them)

I will use them all in a cloth dyeing bundle

Now Picture Trees
Randomly planted everywhere that looks bare
by an anonymous gardener


Locust pods

Catalpa pods

Happy Feet
