Happy Harvest… an ensemble

Posted on November 13, 2008 | 5 comments

If seems in my mind that Fall is all about harvest and cooking as well as enjoying cooler days. If you live near me…MUCH cooler! I’m actually thinking its now winter even though the calendar doesn’t say so until Dec 21st. This harvest table ensemble was designed for the latest special edition of Paper Crafts magazine…PC Gourmet. It’s full of great recipes and paper crafting projects and I was delighted to be asked to design four projects to go along with some of them. I thought I’d share this one as its perfect for this time of year. I know my American friends are still to celebrate their Thanksgiving and this project just may give you a few ideas. The little mini basket is tied with a tag and would be filled with garden bounty.
