Pressing Autumn Leaves
Oct 19
2009
On my way to the mailbox Friday afternoon, I saw a tremendous number of beautiful autumn leaves scattered on the ground. With the help of my trusty leaf and flower press, I preserved them for years to come!
An interesting note: when I opened the press, I found myself walking down memory lane. There were crimson leaves I pressed in college two years ago, pine needles from our first Christmas tree last year, a Venus flytrap leaf from Carlotta (my VFT from my sophomore year at TCNJ), and even four still-green leaves from my high school graduation. So lovely to find things like this that you completely forgot about!
