Autumnal Wanderings...

So many beautiful things happening outside; if I wander slowly, and with my camera at the ready, I notice the details of the most extraordinary things. It is truly a delicious thing to amble along experiencing autumnal delights! So enjoy these delights - I captured them just for you....

'tis autumn and all is calm...

    

One can never truly appreciate the beauty of Autumn until the season slowly swings into its magnificent glory. The calm sense of retreating into oneself - the plants, the animals and us!

"Nature's Grand Hotel has its Seasons, like the others. As the guests one by one pack, pay, and depart, and the seats at the table d'hote shrink pitifully at each succeeding meal; as suites of rooms are closed, carpets taken up, and waiters sent away; those boarders who are staying on en pension, until the next year's full reopening, cannot help being somewhat affected by all these flittings and farewells, this eager discussion of plans, routes, and fresh quarters, this daily shrinkage in the stream of comradeship." 

(Wind in the Willows, K. Grahame, pg 112)

So, as the birds prepare to take their flights to warmer air, so to does the creative process retreat to inner places to re-emerge with abundant inspiration and ideas. Stay tuned : )

Easter Bounty....I mean Bunny...

How cute are these???! 

Hand printed on organic cotton (pink and turquiose) and hemp (natural),

 hand WHISKERED, stuffed with wool fleece - these fit perfectly into little hands and will be adored long after the chocolate has gobbled and gone!

 Limited run - find them on our etsy store now and add them to the easter bounty!

Delicious treats

Here's just some beautiful things to look at !

 (I have bought myself a spanky new camera and looking for photographic excuses.)

We have some exciting new plans a-hatching - stay tuned for the unveiling hopefully soon. 

We have also bought some of the scrummiest linens you can imagine and will turn them into something fantabulous for our new spring/summer range. 

And as if that's all not exciting enough, we have some exclusive bits and bobs in a fantastic shop in Kyneton on Piper Street, Rundell and Rundell. They run courses in making heirloom Shaker furniture and have a homewares shop that stocks an eclectic mix of artistic, creative, unusual and antique pieces (as well as glen's amazing furniture). 

Definitely worth a gander folks if you're out that way 'making a day of it'.

Beautiful sights

                                                                                           

It has been lovely and deeply restful holidays full of renewal and inspiration. I have been enraptured with images from nature (aided by my spanky new camera eager to record them for me!) - I feel positively bursting at the seams with inspiration and ideas. I hope all of you had restful, fun and slightly mischievous christmas/new year period - and we look forward to the coming year may it be full of wonderful happy times and exciting Bluewren bits and bobs x

hear ye...hear ye...
