Bittersweet...


Yesterday, Annie and I were delighted to find fresh bittersweet for sale at the Fresh Market. Bittersweet does not grow wild here in Florida, so we buy a few bunches every year.


I love this wild vine. To me,
it is a necessary element for Autumn decorating at our house. We anticipate it's arrival every year, and are so happy when, at last, it makes it's appearance.  


Today, I'll be playing with bittersweet and pulling out more seasonal favorites.


Annie spied this dish towel as soon as we walked in the door of the market and squealed with delight!


Owls and plaid...a perfect Fall combo now hanging out on our oven door handle.



Welcome to my new followers!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...full of good Fall fun!

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

  1. Oh how I love Bittersweet...I think most of us bloggers love it - we can't harvest it along the roadsides here in Wisconsin...you will get a $300 fine if caught as it is such an invasive plant - but I know people do it all the time.
    I finally planted 2 plants in my gardens this past month (it has the male and female in one...yeah...)
    Love Annies little towel...it was just waiting for her.
    Blessings,
    Karen

  5. Hi, Robyn,
    Your fall decoration is so beautiful, I love the simplicity of it. There used to be bittersweet around here, but it all disappeared in hot dry summers years ago. I usually buy some and use it outside, I can't use it inside because it is poisonous to the animals,
    Hugs,
    Melinda

  6. Happy September Girlfriend....(Remember me??) Coming here for a visit is like coming home....warm, safe, and wonderful..... Beautiful bittersweet....It's funny that Karen says the plant is so invasive here.....As long as I've lived here, I've never seen it grow in the wild around us. Maybe we're just too far north.... Anyways....I have an order in for some and it should be here soon..... Like the old saying goes: "I shan't go to town while the bittersweet blooms...." ;o) Hope all is well.... Tell Annie she has impeccable taste....And, oh....I LOVE your sweet black kitties!!! Smiles & September Hugs ~ Robin
