Apparently, good manners go right out the window when the acorns arrive. 🐿️🍂
Happy Harvest by Artful Offerings is a wonderfully lively celebration of autumn, with a brilliant orange pumpkin at center stage and an entire cast of woodland characters making the most of the season's bounty.
Two handsome blackbirds perch among oak leaves, evergreen branches and bright red berries while a pair of determined chipmunks joins the feast below. According to the designer, the birds have enlisted their chipmunk friends to help reach the berries growing high in the pines—but one little fellow gets distracted along the way and stuffs his cheeks with far too many acorns.
We can't say we blame him.
Rich autumn shades of pumpkin orange, russet red, olive green, earthy brown and deep black give Happy Harvest the wonderfully warm, timeworn character that makes Artful Offerings designs so distinctive. The model is stitched entirely with Weeks Dye Works hand-overdyed floss on Weeks Dye Works Parchment Linen, allowing subtle shifts of color to add even more texture and life to the foliage, feathers and fur.
Whimsical without being sugary and primitive without losing its color, Happy Harvest captures the bustling abundance—and occasional bad manners—of fall.
