6 May 2023. A moment in the day.

I love it how Lil potters about the cottage, she takes such pride in helping make Fairy Wren Cottage a cosy home . After my morning sit outside in the sunshine, I came in to find Lil had replaced last weeks kitchen table flowers with a fresh linen table runner and a cyclamen she had […]

5 May 2023. A moment in the day.

The wood heater. Watching the fire, it’s my meditation for the colder months. I really do feel myself slow down and relax. Warmth and comfort. I’m hoping to be posting a photo each day in May. A moment captured during the day, calming, peaceful, that captureds my heart. A moment in the day, uplifting, something […]

One hour notice for no water.

This week was interesting! On Tuesday at 5pm we got a phone call from our wonderful plumber that he could arrive at 6pm and turn the water off to repair a leaking pipe that Michael had discovered that afternoon.  Our water supply would be turned off from 6:15pm until 6:15am to allow the pipe to […]

Honeybee and my first sale.

Fairy Wren Cottage Shopkeeper: I was in the Kitchen Garden when my first etsy sale notification came through. This is Honeybee coming to check on me with that questioning look on her face, she doesn’t often see me do a happy dance! My hope is that you see my shop as a steady constant, if […]

4 May 2023. A moment in the day.

A spare chair, a quilt for the daybed and my magic basket that shifts from the little table on the veranda (my desk) to the chair next to it and back again several times a day.

And of course Honeybee’s happy chortling duck noises as I hand deliver lettuce leaves to her. Much love from one of Honeybee’s devoted humans xxx Would you like to join me? I’m hoping to be posting a […]

2 May 2023. A moment in the day.

Those hands. What they create. Hard working. Aways going above and beyond.  Stained from years of working with timber. My beautiful, helpful Michael. Sure I could have taken a photo of Michael cutting up my evening meal, or helping me put on my socks or so many other things that he helps me with since […]

1st May: Returning to my desk and watching the silver birch leaf shadows on the wall. Would you like to join me? I’m hoping to be posting a photo each day in May. A moment during the day, calming, peaceful, that captures my heart. If you’d like to join in at any time for however […]
