Once again it's that time of year...
bittersweet harvest!
I love the smell of it's damp leaves...the smell of autumn.
It's that unmistakably smell that you smell just once a year.
It's best picked before the husk burst.
I like to bring it inside where it is warmer and dryer,
overnight,
and then awake to a whole new looking vine!
The tiny husks have burst open to expose their brilliant orange fruit.
The best color of orange that there is!
Nature is so magical...
I have used this beautiful vine as inspiration in two upcoming cross stitch designs. They are more harvest & autumn-themed. Two designs that can be left out through the Thanksgiving season.

Oh, I love bittersweet in the fall, and half the fun is in the hunt!
WONDERFUL ... WONDERFUL. I Luv the signs of fall and your designs are no exception.
Where the Bittersweet Blooms looks like it's going to be lovely!!!
both designs scream Fall. Can't wait to see them in their entirety.
Indeed, beautiful samplers! Gorgeous vines! Love that color too, screams fall is here :) yay!
Hugs Marg.
So happy to see this post. And more of my favorite. Bittersweet doesn't grow where I live so last year I went to the only florist in town that sold it and bought a lot. Time to get it out of the attic! It is the prettiest vine and to me rivals roses! These designs look so pretty and in the loveliest colors. Thank you for sharing.
