Spending our first holiday season at the cottage, and thinking about our favorite pastimes here, has inspired some new advent activities for us to try, like making a foraged wreath!

On Sunday morning we set off on our favorite hillside hike and gathered greenery, branches, moss, and berries.

We made an effort to collect plants we associate with this area, like salal and old man’s beard. Then we came home and built a wreath for our front door. Everyone was involved in the process— even little Auggie!

We absolutely LOVED making this foraged wreath together. It will definitely make it into our regular advent calendar rotation!
