Can’t believe a month has gone by since my last post. Time goes far too quickly! I continue to add to my website and a new product is animal colouring in stickers for people to personalise. Children like my animal art but of course glass is not always appropriate! With these animal stickers that’s …
Butterfly Farm Visit in Devon I was recently treated to a visit to Buckfast Butterflies and Otters and had a great day out. They have a variety of tropical butterflies flying around in a warm humid habitat. You get to see some up close too, as they rest. The part I found most interesting was …
There are still some great summer flowers to be seen, despite September officially being the end of summer. However we have had a good summer here in the UK to encourage the blooms but looks like the warm weather is coming to an end this week. Hopefully the change won’t kill off the flowers yet. …

St.Michael’s Mount, National Trust I recently had a short break in Cornwall and St.Michael’s Mount was definitely a highlight. However a step into is an understatement, there are a lot of steep steps to get there but worth the hike! We timed it just right being able to walk there and back at low tide. …
Just listed a new poppy vase on my website. I do love red poppies, although I have yellow ones at the front of my house, so maybe I should paint yellow ones next! Recently I’ve seen some beautiful wild flower meadows, which included poppies. It’s great that these are being planted, as they not only …
Had a lovely day trip last week visiting Saltram House in Devon. It is a large National Trust property with an extensive collection of art and beautiful Chinese wallpaper. Here are a some photos.
