I had a little offer in there (and newsletter things too) that will be ending this weekend!

Here's a link if you'd like to take a peek:

Pine Marten preferred to whisper his wisdom to those lucky enough to be listening.
Today he whispered to the ferns. 'Isn't silence special?' He said, 'I think it might be the language of magical things. Shall we speak it for a while?'
The ferns remained quiet. As did he.

When your mum comes to visit and brings a boot full of plants!

From the grin on Poppy’s face I think it’s safe to say she’s happy to meet you, Brigit Strawbridge (she is also enjoying the gardening bit, and has told me she will try not to eat everything!)🐾

Yey! Poppy can’t wait to meet you!
(And I can’t wait to see you x)

Fox had something special in her sights.
She was focused and she knew she could do it.
She wasn't denying it'd be hard, and occasionally she had doubts, but she knew she was capable of whatever she set her sights on.
She had a true belief in herself.
Enough to achieve anything.

Open Studios Stirlingshire is happening! I’m proud to say I’m helping make it happen!
We are creating a website and flyer (with map) in the next month or so and then I’ll share more info.

(Also, my little hare is on the poster… quite chuffed with that!☺️)

The story behind it:

Fox didn't need a reason to run. She felt alive when she ran, she felt free. The rhythm soothed her. The repetitive movement took her deeper into her inner world. And the time with herself was everything. She didn't need a reason to run, but there were plenty of them.

What actually happens at a market… lots of tea and waiting for customers, embroidery and chats, more tea while waiting for rain to go away, more chats, more waiting, and lots of behind the scene mess!

Curlew's hauntingly beautiful cry can be heard through any seascape as the wind takes it to where it belongs.
When he shares his melancholy call with the world, it's not to cause sadness. He knows all songs exist to be heard, and his cry is a song too.
The song of his soul.

Will be at Leith Market on Saturday 13th
10am - 4pm
See you there?!

✨🥳Happy Birthday to this beautiful woman!✨🎂

Have a lovely day, Mum, wish I was with you today xxxxxxx

Otter was extremely busy with the important business of having as much fun as possible.
He'd woken up determined to enjoy the day, and thus far, everything was going according to plan. He was having a lovely day.
With any luck, he'd be this productive all week.
