Etsy Updates

Thank you for all your shop orders! Things are selling so fast (which is amazing) but I am having trouble keeping up with promoting the updates on here and Instagram. 

If you don't want to miss out on the new listings then just click on the shop link in my side bar or  here and then go and 'like' my shop directly on Etsy. 

That way you will be updated as soon as they're listed, instead of waiting for me to catch up...I'm swimming in a sea of flowers and weddings and social media has gone by the wayside.   

I'm aiming to list up four items a week so keep your eyes peeled. 

Happy Shopping! 

Woods Wail Like Echoes From The Sea

'I say: Alas ! our fruit hath wooed the sun
Too long; 'tis fallen and floats adown the stream.
Lo, the last clusters! Pluck them every one, 
And let us sup with summer; ere the gleam
Of autumn set the year's pent sorrow free,
And the woods wail like echoes from the sea.'
D.G Rossetti.

 

 

The above items in the shop were all inspired by Mrs William Rawnsley and the Autumn months from her book 'The New Forest'.  It was one of the first things I found when we first moved back from London.
The Rawnsley's are an important part of the history of the forest and being the book geek that I am, I saw finding this book a sure sign that we were home now.

Mrs Rawnsley beautifuly curated book is a month by month account of the seasons changing, combining her writing and illustrations with wonderful Edwardian poetry like the Rossetti example above.

 I have read every month since we moved back and it is fast approaching us being here a year now.
I am so happy and excited to see the Autumn months in this magical place and to see if much has really changed since 1904.


So yes the shop has taken an Autumnal tumble (sorry to all of you in the Southern Hemisphere), but something I know you can all appreciate is the big 'H' word! Keep your eyes peeled for more Halloween themed items arriving this week and click on any of the photo's in this post to visit the shop.

Drying Herbs

  

Seeing these photographs last year on Hannah's wonderful blog, started my love affair with Kinfolk (a little late to the party)! Now that Autumn is most definitely creeping it's way in to our lives (and my heart is singing about it) this editorial has been on my mind. You know what else has been on my mind? You lot!

Thank you all so much for your lovely, lovely comments on my last post. At the moment I seem to be in a constant battle with my soul about time spent on the internet... Well, really i'm just trying to spend a lot less time on it!

Pretty tricky when my shop and a lot of my work is based online! Really it all just comes down to prioritising and not living my life through the computer (and my phone)!

What I HAVE missed is reading all the wonderful and inspiring blogs of yours... That's why I started this little part of the internet in the first place, and I really have been missing having time to spend on it. I guess it all just comes down to balance.

 What do you all think? How do you manage your time spent online?



The Kinfolk shoot is a wonderful collaboration between Parker Fitzgerald and Amy Merrick. Two people who I am constantly in awe of and inspired by, and yes I wouldn't have found them if it hadn't been for the internet (so okay, let's all hail the internet)!

If you would like to see what I have been up to, then have a little peek into my shop by clicking the above picture, so many new items and plently more where that came from.

The featured items are inspired by that 'back to school' September feeling and my beautiful friend Ava for reminding me of it.

Shop Update: Sweet Rosie

  

  

New items in the shop and lot's of lovely homewares to follow. 

Click on the picture to visit the item in my Etsy shop. 

As my Instagram followers will know we had a very beautiful (almost ethereal) Lion Head Rabbit called Harlequin. We sadly lost him recently to that big Bunny warren in the sky, he really was such a special guy and we like to think he is now happy and reunited with his one true love.

Small animals are such heart breakers and we vowed never to put ourselves through it again. That is until we met Rosie, a giant French Lop in desperate need of a new home. She helped us and we helped her and I definitely think that Harli would approve, she is very happy.

So this post is dedicated to Harlequin, to Rosie and to all you fellow Bunny owners out there. As my friend Ava once said, Rabbits have a very special way of getting a hold of your heart.

Sunday love to you

Sweetheart

2013 is the year that I become less of a hoarder! To celebrate this I am selling off a big chunk of my Vintage collection. 

Seeing as the Love day is fast approaching us, I decided the first pieces listed should be Valentines themed.

 

You can visit any of the items by clicking on the pictures or you can just visit my shop here.

No I am not crazy, but yes I do have a thing for Bed jackets and I do have too many clothes. It's not easy saying goodbye to them but at least I know they will be going to good homes.

So much so that I have created a special coupon for 'A Harem Of Peacocks' readers. 

If you enter 'Sweetheart' at the Checkout you will get 15% off any item in the shop running up until Valentines day.

I am also busy working on lot's of Valentines themed homewares to list up this week, so keep checking back. 

Sunday love to you.
