You know what I've noticed about myself lately?  When many others are spending time away from work, my speed of posting is up.  Is it seeing 2010 coming to an end and trying to hold on to it?  Or is it the season that's even more inspiring for creativity?  No matter what it is, I'm playing hard these days (to me, work is play).  Shhh...don't tell my husband although he's been suspecting that most of what I do is playing. :-) The other day, when I was passing by a row of maple trees, beautifully dotted with hot red leaves, an idea popped into my mind.  I had to turn around to them.

You see, most of the "pretty stuff" (some call it home decor) in our house come from nature or our travels.  This time, it's the marriage of both.  From one of our trips to Taiwan, we brought back a beautiful, subtly toned vase.  When I saw the maple leaves, something in my head said they would look nice in that vase.  So, here's what turned out:

One vase, one sprig of maple, an art piece to be put on my wall.  What can I say, life is full of beauty!  Enjoy what it has to offer, my friends!

P.S.  I did apologize to the tree for "stealing" the sprig from it.
