It's official! The clocks have changed and although it took a moment to get used to, we have to say it's starting to feel as though it was worth it! Lighter nights, longer days and more to look forward to. There's something about this time of year - that first drop of sunlight hitting your face (no matter how cold the breeze may still be!) It's all the better once you spot the first blue sky of the season. The hope and possibilities of warmer days to come, and adventures not yet had!
Nothing showcases the beginning of spring like a woodland walk, and England has an array of beautiful (and ancient!) woodland, full of magic - it's no wonder it's inspired so many books, paintings and films! (Tolkien, C.S. Lewis as well as enchanting legends such as Robin Hood and stories centered around Arthurian tales)
Forest bathing has become more popular than ever in recent years, and with money tight these days, a woodland walk could be the perfect day out to inspire and uplift, bringing some much needed magic to everyday life. perfect for body and mind, it could prove to be the perfect happy ritual.
Bluebells have been popular since the medieval times - often seen in paintings, their ethereal quality has provided the perfect subject in many fairy-esque and Arthurian works. There are plenty of bluebell hotspots up and down the country, and the coming weeks are the perfect time to spot them. (Just be careful not to be taken! Their bells are said to summon fairies!)
Our Folk Collection candles from St Eval are a wonderful way to bring inspiration indoors - available in two earthy scents - Oak and Moss. Hand poured in Cornwall, these scents will engender great folk stories, awaken imaginations and stir creative souls.
"From ancient hill and wild moor, the tales of folk doth spill. A lark, a leaf, a fragrant lore a sense where time stood still."
Our English Flora soaps are wrapped in parchment and made in Great Britain. This Herb Border soap makes a great gift for a loved one, or is perfect to freshen up your own home!
We hope you find some magic in the everyday!
