I picked up my first fall leaf today. It brought back memories of my first fall in New York City.
One fine day, while coming back from a shopping trip, with a friend, I'd picked up a few fall leaves. Call it a weird sense of decor, but those leaves went on my wall. That's when I started the transformation. Changing my room from a bare walls bare floor place to something I could call home. Someplace my friends could come and feel comfortable. Gradually, I bought some furniture and a rug. Off course the Place of pride was always natures. Some berries and stalks I got from my first trekking trip joined the leaves. Later around Christmas a few buds were added to this collection. Flowers from a date were dried and these were added. Gradually the room got there. It was not home yet, but was comfortable to come back to. And the leaves started it all...............

hey Reshmi,
Thanks for the encouraging comment.
take care
I pick leaves too - leaves of autumn, mostly. I used to do so in London, and seldom those that I pick, get lost elsewhere. They all remain in my room - from dried roses, to stalks, to mere petals.
Perhaps I share the same sense of odd decor as you :)
