New for August in my Etsy Shop

 Finally some rain and cooler air today after the baking heat of the weekend! Looking forward to the cooler days and warm colours of Autumn and Winter with some new products in my Etsy shop.

As the cost of living rises, I've tried to keep my prices as low as possible for original, one-off items and paintings so it's easy to refresh a room scheme, find a handmade gift or top your Christmas decorations.

Matching crochet pots  in heather tones with daisy print cotton lining.

Small framed oil painting with moonlit Tor, Red Tree Dancing.

Trees, Seeds and Crochet

As lockdown eases and the temperature rises it has been lovely to get out & about over the Easter holidays. It is that moment in the year when the trees burst into leaf and bird song and I have spotted my first swallows of the year.

As usual, several windowsills have been full of seed trays, mainly flowers this year and now the days are warm but the nights cold, it is that seasonal dance of bringing trays in and outdoors as they start to harden off and grow on. 

The pasque flowers have survived the frosts  and I'm delighted to find lots of self seeding flowers in the garden, feverfew, ox eye daisies, pansies and a few foxgloves, natures own patchwork. What we need now are milder nights with some rain to help with the outdoor seed planting.

Thoughtful Spring Gifts...

This month in my Etsy shop I have added a new design, based on oak leaves collected from our little oak tree last Autumn. These new fridge magnets are lightweight, slim & ideal for popping in an envelope along with a card for posting as a thoughtful gift for someone special.
