I love the paradox of using "free" decorations provided by mother nature to provide such a rich look...of using such humble items to achieve elegance! I, too, love to decorate for fall with pheasant feathers, acorns, pressed leaves, dried grasses, and grapevines. How I envy your bracket fungi that don't grow in our climate. It's fun to see how everyone uses what they find in their own settings.
