Etsy Shop Update

Did I ever tell you about the strange tree that grows in my garden? If the conditions are right and we have been blessed with a warm summer, in Autumn it bears fruit of the oddest kind....

Just kidding....you didn't believe me did you?
Of course this post isn't really about magic fox bearing trees but to share my latest wooden creations which will all be added to my shop this Friday the 27th September at 7pm  (19:00) uk time on the dot!
Come and meet the foxes......

Inspired by berries and plants in the hedgerow.  Hawthorn,elder,blackberry and dog rose.

There are also hares.
 'Crab Apple' is very pleased to meet you although she was a little shy and didn't really like having her photograph taken.

Elder.

Herb And Butterfly

Blackthorn

Rowan

And a cheeky little trio. Nordic inspired.

 Birdies...  Mr crow.

And Mr Cuckoo.

Now to the land of the magic forest, where toadstools have small worlds within. These worlds are inhabited by woodland creatures and always much starlight. 

Pixie-ish red ones too. No pixies but more woodland creatures. Or of course the pixies could be shape shifters?

Almost there now, just the pendants to go. I know, let's have a momentary interlude....
 Here's a gorgeous big bee for you to see,  pictured in the garden today. :)

And lastly the pendants....

I've also added some new postcards too, so do stop by and have a look.
See you soon! xx                             

A little Of What I've been Up To

I wrote this last night as the rain fell. It was a very dark 31st October. We had pumpkins reflecting  their light out of the window down our puddle strewn path. Only two lots of children ventured out in the rain for trick or treating. The basket is still filled with shiny boiled sweets and chocolate eclair toffees. The fire was lit, candles flickered and the sweet smell of treacle tart hung about in the kitchen. Not home made I'm ashamed to say. Everything was a bit of a rush, so a thanks to Mr Kipling for the treacle tart and the Halloween french fancies. I hope you had a good one, however you celebrated it.

I've been busy with making stock for my Etsy shop which I'll show you in a bit...
Time has been zooming by and  half term seemed to arrive here just hours after school had returned from the summer!
I've been out and about quite a bit. My very bestest old friend from college days came to stay. :-) We had a lovely time catching up and wandered around Avebury  in the rain.

We breathed the salty misted sea air at Lyme Regis.

And met a lovely cat.

I bought a tiny egg in the fossil shop, that looks like a dragon or phoenix egg. It also looks as if it is made of moonlight. I will show you another day.
Talking of magical things, I saw amethyst in the hedgerow the other day.

And more magic....
This time at Warner Bros Leavesdon  Film Studios, to see the Harrry Potter studio tour.

It's a wonderful place to go for a Harry Potter fan. All the detail that has gone into everything is a joy to see. A lot of it made, because it was in the books but only glimpsed for seconds on screen in the films.

Below, the Leaky cauldron.

 And the attention to detail that brought it even more to life.

We had a butter beer, brought home a chocolate frog and got a Dumbledore wizard card!

So, back to the here and now and my new creations. Which are all about to be listed in my Etsy shop.

                                                   ~Sleepy Woodland Pendants~

                                                                          ~Hearts ~

                                                                    A few hares...

And there is still lots to do, to get things in the shop in time for Christmas, so I'd best get on then.
Take care. x
