a bag, boots, and leaves

Join me today as I go hiking on the trails of Vermont to gather natural fall decor elements to decorate our home with this season. Adding outdoor elements to the home in Autumn is such a fun and warm way to decorate. Faux leaves, birch branches, pinecones, etc. can easily be found in big box stores, however, I prefer to go for a walk or a hike to collect these outdoor natural elements. It’s so much more fun and gets me in the mood for fall!

I grabbed a large L.L. Bean bag that I had on hand along with my cutting clippers and took to the local trails.

Birch tree branches scattered on the woods floor. Yes, please! I was able to gather quite a few birch branches to decorate with. I’ll dry them out at home and combine them with the beautiful golden leaves.

You can hike to the top of Equinox Mountain and many do on a daily basis. You will also find snowshoers and cross-country skiers on the lower trails in the wintertime here at Equinox Preserve in Vermont. Along with Orvis’s fly fishing school out on the Pond from time to time.
