Dusty country back roads, tree lined avenues littered with orange, red and yellow leaves, calm lake shores and sandy beaches, mountainous trails each boasting nature's finds. There is a sweet joy to be found in escaping modern civilization to forage the imperfect leftovers nature has to offer. For the next four weeks join Harlow and Thistle and My Fair Olinda in a Foraging Series. Here's how to play:

- Forage for the weekly item  - This week's item is "LEAVES"

- Create a fun DIY

- Post it on Instagram using hashtag #holidayforagefriday by Thursday

- Follow the hosts @harlowandthistle and @naomikandrews

- Top photos will be featured on the hosts IG on Friday

What can you do with the foraged find of the week? Each week on Saturday we will announce a new item to forage and create with. We look forward to your creativity!
Also, be sure to visit @Naomikandrews over at www.myfairolinda.com to see what creative idea she comes up with for leaves!
