A little peep at my other life!!!!!

A little look at at my other creations......little mice!!!! These are my Georgian mice, complete with white wigs. My favourite period in history is the Tudor period, in second place is the Georgian period. I love those powdered wigs (I know in real life they were full of creepy crawlies!!!) and gorgeous dresses ,the Costume Museum in Bath has some fabulous examples.I loved the costumes in the film the Duchess and Marie Antionette.... I just thought you would like to see them:) I also have a passion for the Jane Austin period but thats another story.........














owly things

These are my latest owly creations,brooms,staffs,books,signs,wands and displays. The little display boards come with a free standing larger owls and a little owl ink well. They can be displayed seperately. I loved making these owls. Anna has always loved holding owls and when we go to the local National Trust properties ( Speke Hall, Chirk Castle,Errigg and others)there are often owl trusts and have owls on display. She still loves having a liitle hold:) even though shes older now. A selection of these feathered friends are already on there way to Debbie:)

New Bottles, Pumpkin Crate And My Broom!

This is my broom!!!!!!!!!!!it's about five and a half foot high (I got it from the local garden centre, couldn't resist it!!!!) .It stands in the hallway. I am going to decorate it at Halloween, some pumpkin lights would look quite good:) !!!!!
Crow and slightly freaky Mummy themed bottles are some of my new stuff. Then theres my latest pumpkin crate has a crow (it's funny because ever since I started making these little crow items, like the broom I've had a pair of crows visiting our garden, I haven't seen them before here, they just kind of arrived.They leave the other littler birds alone and they are funny to watch). Also as you can see is a little witchy sign, these come with various saying and different themes.




Poision Apple Bottles and Hat Pins

Poision apple bottles!!!!!!!!!!One is Poision Apple Pips (ideal for growing your own poision apple tree ,just what every witchy garden needs. The other is Dried Poision Apple Slices.I made the bottles first ,then thought "what about poision apple hat pins? I think the red colour ofthe apple halves looks quite good against the black of the little hat pin holder. Wonder what I can come up with now......maybe poision apple pie!!!!!!!!!!!!
