Autumn is my favourite time of year. I don't handle the heat of summer very well and spend my time looking for the first signs of the change in season. Blackberries can be seen everywhere and it is the most well known of the 'free food'. I make a point of taking my daughters blackberry picking every year and then make either bramble jelly or blackberry and apple crumble with our finds.

Full description
This dainty necklace depicts the Bramble from blossom to blackberry. It is an original design hand embroidered on silk, mounted in a silver plated frame and hung on a 16" sterling silver chain. The pendant measures 18.5mm x 18.5mm.
The bramble is such a common site in our hedgerows and although it can be considered a weed by gardeners it is one of my favourite plants. It gives us beautiful blossoms in spring and summer and the blackberry is always one of the first signs of Autumn, my favourite time of year.
In parts of Britain it was believed that many diseases could be cured by walking under an arch of bramble that was rooted at both ends and bramble would be twisted together with rowan and ivy and hung over the door to protect from witches and evil spirits.
It has always been considered unlucky to pick and eat blackberries after Michaelmas Day 11th October). It was believed that when the Devil was cast out of heaven he fell into a bramble bush and spat on the blackberries.
A period of fine weather at the end of September, beginning of October, when the blackberries were ripening, was known as a 'blackberry summer'.
Herbalists would place the bramble leaves on burns and use them to reduce swelling
