Tiny mouse accepted the moon’s invitation and sailed away. Who knows where. Perhaps to your shores? 🌊🌊🌊 Summer collection is coming
Sometimes the tiniest of mice, too small for a boat, find an oak leaf to sail on. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 Tiny mouse and copper oak leaf in the Summer collection 25th July
Hurrah it is Wednesday and today the weasels are loving Fridays with the Cure! Dance like a weasel you know you want to #weaselwednesday
🌙Sometimes just sometimes, the moon sends a boat to find someone of a quiet heart wishing to drift and dream on smooth seas. I wonder who this boat is for? Perhaps it is you 🌙🌙🌙 #summercollectioniscoming
There will be a small collection of summery boat loving creatures Saturday 25th July 8pm subscribe to my email and you can get a sneak peek into my head and the train of thought that goes from a wooden boat to Christmas carols to poems and local ponds that became the inspiration for the collection.
Old Shrew was too old to go sailing these days but he liked to look at his old sea charts and remember the voyages he took.
Argh sorry we are late! Weasel Wednesday for your delectation
‘Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.‘ (quote from Wind in the Willows with a water vole who knew how to make a picnic)

Happy Midsummer! “At the midsummer solstice, as the Earth dances and laughs flowers, folk gather to feast and dance and sing. Some light fires to jump for courage. Young ones play hide and seek and swim and run and jump. Their laughter floats out across the bright summer skies.“ The Joy Bringers
