The Witch's Daughter

I think that in a past life Fredrick Stuart Church climbed up into my dreams and made himself a living out of painting them. 

Witches, Nymph's and Mermaids depicted as long haired beauties, surrounded by their equals in the animal kingdom... Exactly as it should be.

For what it's worth...

'For what it's worth: it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over again." 

F.Scott Fitzgerald.

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.

The High Priestess

   

All photo's from my Tumblr

'The High Priestess sits in stillness. From there she is able to access realms others pass by with out noticing...The vast world of intuition, dreams, and mystery. She uses silence and non action to harness this power.' She is a lady of the Moon.

Belles of Beltane

Across the shimmering meadows, 

Ah, when he came to me!

In the spring-time,

In the night-time, 

In the starlight, 

Beaneath the Hawthorn tree...

Willa Canther

Perhaps they were not crowned Queens, but the first Hawthorn flower was picked and a wish was whispered...

Garlands were hung and at cross roads laid, bough's of Hawthorn lead the Belles of Beltane to

 loves future and traditions lost. 

Happy May Day

Thank you Kerry for such a lovely and thoughtful gift in the form of my beautiful 1920's/30's May day photographs. When I have a scanner worthy of capturing them properly I can share them all with you. For now you can spot one in amongst all the beauties above. 

All other images are from this Pinterest Board.

Scènes De Feeries

The beauty of the 'fairy films'...

  

These were all taken from my much loved Pathe Fairy Tales DVD.

Apologies for the lack of blog posts, replies and comments on your own wonderful parts of the internet, Things have been very very busy over here (real life), but what it does mean is that my shop will soon be budding with Spring surprises.
If you want regular updates on my goings on and the 'A Harem Of Peacocks Shop' then follow me on Facebook or Instagram, the links are below.

If you have been reading my blog for a while then you may recognise the work of Ellen Rogers.
Promoted by conversations on Twitter where her name has been cropping up again and again (mostly thanks to Katie and Polly), I thought it was about time I did another inspiration post starring her beautiful and ethereal imagery, she never fails to inspire me.

All these images have come from her website, and you can see my other posts on her here and here. Now I just need to start saving for her beautiful book.
