Delighted to see my Somerset Ferns clutch nestled in the Emporium section of December's UK Country Living magazine!

Last weekend whilst visiting my parents, I grabbed a bit of winter sunshine and fresh air and gathered evergreen goodies for a Christmas wreath for their door. Fun to make but I should have worn gloves, ouch ouch ouch!

Gathering mistletoe, a tree and a shadow

Now this tree has lost its leaves you can see the vast amounts of mistletoe growing in the canopies. Beautiful!

I've never seen so many berries on mistletoe, the birds have usually eaten them all

I've added some little coin purses to Etsy, these are all very limited edition or OOAK and silk-lined.

Wintery weather seems to have gripped every part of the UK apart from the Bristol/south west region. I absolutely love snow so I can't help but feel I'm missing out on the action. However, there was a little flurry of the white stuff earlier in the week and I took a few pics on a (bracing) walk down in Somerset.






It is absolutely freezing though, just as well I bought this fake fur hat, my best impulse buy of the year!
