As the Poppies Blow…
Today is Armistice Day and I wind my way through my garden to the old corbel stone that is nestled among the shrubs and ferns and where my ‘Poppy Garden’ now waits…

Stirring Up More Trouble!
As the sun disappears on this All Hallows Eve – the folk from the All Hallows Hamlet are excitedly polishing shoes and dusting their finest hats as they dress to impress to celebrate the Festival of Samhain BUT not everyone wants to enjoy this special evening!
Vampyres and Werewolves? Oh My!
Tilly Simms hadn’t really enjoyed the celebrations of the festival of Día de los Muertos yesterday as she had been very troubled by the strange behaviour of a certain furry feline…
Tears for Fleurs!
After the celebration of All Hallows Eve, the first day of November is one for remembering the dearly departed with the festivals of the Mexican Day of the Dead and All Souls’ Day and with this in mind, I designed a unique teardrop tribute of flowers for display inside the design room of one of my favourite flower shops.
Vampyres? Werewolves? Oh My!
“Oh my!” sighed Tilly as she thought about Murphy stalking the All Hallows graveyard at dusk with some very odd white foam on his face!
And why was he suddenly leaving his grey fur all over the place?
Orange IS the NEW Black!
At first Minnie B had been very excited to have received her special invitation to the party at Nicole’s House for this All Hallows Eve but as the day arrived and even with the promise of lots of delicious cake – she was not her usual happy self…
When Glum Pumpkins Gleam?

As the sun goes down and you find yourself in need of a little retail therapy then why not join me for a unique shopping experience?
In Search of a Lost Soul? Oh My!
Tilly Simms hadn’t really enjoyed the celebrations of the festival of Día de los Muertos as she had been very troubled by the strange behaviour of a small furry cat who prowls his way through the sleepy hamlet of All Hallows…
Chocolate? How EGGstraordinary!
After the austerity of Lent, Easter ALWAYS calls for something a little special in the way of floral design and my plans for the 12th scale church in the Parish of St M’s one year were NO exception!
OK! Holy Monday – Let’s DO This!
With the glorious celebration of Palm Sunday over, I returned to St M’s the following day known as Holy Monday AND it wasn’t long before I heard the patter of familiar mice feet…
The Hen Takes Flight!
And now with my wings firmly in place as the Crooked Hen, I’m engrossed in my own little world either in my crowded shed at the bottom of the garden or else nestled inside my garden studio with a cup of tea to hand…
Just Give Me THE Money!
With a pinch of shredded money suspended in resin, labelled in parchment and finished with old paper tied with silver wire – this little vial will add a perfect finishing touch to YOUR fantastical miniature world…
A Leprechaun’s Elixr
Another exclusive remedy personally created by that wise little elf AND is guaranteed to lace life with a little of that Leprechaun magick!
The Aches and Pains of Mad Mick!
But WHO is Mad Mick and what has he done to inspire such a potion I wonder?
That's SO Tee Bylo!
