Collecting Rosehips and Making a CenterPiece

First I collected rosehips, complete with the
prickers. For anyone who's ever collected rosehips, you know
that this can get bloody because sometimes there are gigant thorns
on the rosehip bush, along with the tiny thorns on the rosehips themselves.
I personally wera a rubber raincoat with a hood and gloves.Not a task
for the faint of prickly heart that's for sure.



Then I bundled individual strands into
bunches




Then I picked some evergreen boughs
from a nearby tree




The final product  is what you see here.
(the giant pinecone came from South Carolina
that I collected while on vacation)
