Two Angels - angels & petals AND crafty angel

A very pretty hot water bottle cover. If your knitting is anything like mine, start now and it'll make a great present next Christmas!

Heavenly Scents.

The scent in the shop last night for a our fortnightly Knit & Natter session was divine. These gorgeous candles arrived yesterday and just HAD to be sited next to our desk. The hyacinth is to die for! I wanted to fling the shop door open and fill Hatherleigh with the scent of spring flowers. I have no hesitation in saying they are on a par with Diptyque candles but for a lot less money! I wish computer screens were scratch & sniff so I could share the scent with you.

Garden Insects

I thought you might like to see these little hand painted tiles. The collection is called 'Garden' and features various insects. They can either be cemented in amongst wall tiles, or hung from a little attached hook as an indoor decoration. Very pretty and at £3.99 a perfect little gift too.

How cute are these?
I have a little helper today who just fell in love with this delivery. Lewie isn't very well and would have loved to cuddle one of these - but he wasn't allowed! So instead he settled for displaying them for the photo. They are from a fabulous French company and all completely baby safe.

It's turned a bit chilly again hasn't it?
Plenty folk turned out yesterday to come and see what we'd been up to and how the two shops had fitted together. The most popular comment of the day, had to be how much bigger it looks. Bizarre when you think about it, but true. One lady was convinced we'd moved a wall about a foot back. I told her we felt like we had! but actually it was just the same.
Some candles arrived today, and with Mothering Sunday looming on the horizon, I thought I'd show you this one. It has a nice clean fresh scent and comes in the pretty box. (For those of you who focused in on the crochet - it's done in Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran).

Talking of Upcycling (see last post), Kate Hamilton-Hunter is a huge fan. This gorgeous floral necklace is just one of her designs created from vintage biscuit tins. Matching earring for this necklace, and much more jewellery from K H-H are available in Angels & Petals from 6th February.
