Fireplace

This week we took the plunge to knock through our fireplace into our kitchen.  We had intended to block up the family room side but now we have done it we are going to leave it open both sides as it makes both rooms toasty!  The gorgeous oak beam was supplied by Craig Mackay of Kiwi Services. http://kiwi-services.com/ it took a bit of rubbing down by my hubby but now looks wonderful!  Craig also supplied our lovely stash of sweet smelling firewood, I can fully recommend Kiwi services to anyone looking for firewood in the Suffolk Coastal region.

Hag Stones to ward off the Hags

I made one of my 'Hag Stone' wreathes for a dear friend on her Birthday this week. Simple to make by stringing holey pebbles or 'hag stones' on 2mm plus guage garden wire, these look lovely hanging on a door and are fabled to ward off witches!!!!  The only problem is finding the hag stones.  It can take me up to a year of random searching to find enough stones to make a 10 inch wreath.  Let me do the hard work for you!!! Prices start for an 8'' wreath at £15.

Gorgeous fairy toadstools outside Snape Church, naughty but nice!
