Looking through all of the stock that we have in store, its becoming obvious that Anne Stokes is a leading designer of fantasy giftware and collectables. Not only do we stock some of her fantastic fantasy figurines, we also have an entire jewellery range called Mythical Companions, designed by her as well as some gorgeous christmas/yule cards.
She doesn’t seem limited to a particular figure as we have magickal dragons, fantasy fairies and some archetypal gothic horror creations too, wouldn’t it be great if she created a tarot or oracle deck filled with her own designs? Looking at the deck that one of her contemporaries, Jessica Galbreth has created; The Enchanted Oracle Deck, will give you some idea of just how stunning it could be!
Below are some of the stunning examples of her work that we currently have in stock.
Well it is, and theres nothing you can do to get away from the fact.
There is no escaping the onslaught of TV commercials that are telling our children that they NEED all the shiny new toys on display there; that hampers are the way to go for a stress free, debt free christmas and that now is the time to be booking your summer holiday! However they fail to tell you that the toys shown on the TV are not what you can actually afford to buy as they show the entire set of toys, not the flimsy bit of plastic that you can actually afford to buy your child; that when you open your hamper you find that there are products there from manufacturers you have never heard of and tins of obscure vegetables that will still be in your cupboard next christmas – unless you can of load them to your kids school for a summer fayre or harvest festival! Not to mention that a summer holiday is the last thing on your mind as you are trying to get Christmas over with first.
Still, I have to bow my head and admit that the amount of shiny new flimsy plastic waiting to be wrapped up for a certain little boy to open on christmas morning will be slightly more than I had planned to buy, but I draw the line at a hamper. I tried it once and had stuff in my cupboard and freezer for the following year or so that I had no idea how to get rid of.
But, as a woman with a business to run I do have to succome to offering some ‘themed’ merchendise to fit with the season. Perhaps my standards are too high, I don’t know. But I refuse to add some of the tacky, tasteless items to my store that manufacturers promote. So far I have a few nice candle and incense gift sets in stock and last night I finished adding a beautiful range of Yule/Christmas cards to my store. I still have some lovely crystal jewellery to list in there and some fantastic gothic jewellery items, but nothing that jingles, flashes gaudy lights or goes Ho Ho Ho!
You may not think that a store that sells new age and mystical items would have anything to cater for the younger members of the family, well if thats what you think – you’re dead wrong!
New this month, in face JUST UPLOADED to the store are a range of award winning chldrens items.
The ‘Feel Good Friends’ series are bright, cheerful and fun, each item is designed to encourage childrens confidence and build upon their caring and sharing skills.
The ‘I Feel Good About Me’ Book is a great place to start. It is a fun, imaginative book for kids in which to record details of their lives. Focussing on what they are good at and why they are special. This is an ideal way to get children to feel good about themselves, building their confidence and self esteem. It encourages goal setting from a young age and also gets them thinking about their world, and how they can make it a better place.
With card games, board games and bright and funky posters in the range, it is clear to see why this range has received the awards that it has. Its a great way to encourage the next generation to be more aware of themselves and their environment.
We also have gifts available for your fairy princesses and junior wizards, perfect for adding a little extra sparke to their Christmas morning or Birthday celebrations…
Fairy Garden This is a gorgeous little set. A pretty little gift bag containing a candle, a crystal, wildflower seeds, a fairy amulet and a spell scroll. To help you create a magickal fairy garden so the fairies will come and visit.
Wizard Stones Do you have a budding young wizard in the house, expecting to be transported to Hogwarts School of Wizadry? Well try adding these wizard stones to his collection of magickal paraphernalia. Based upon a traditional Rune set, there are 10 handmade sparkling clay stones in the set, each with a specific meaning, along with a spell scroll which explains all of the meanings so you don’t have to remember all them straight away.
For a look at the whole range of childrens products check out our ‘Child’s Play’ section in the store.
Just remember – there aren’t too many posting days left before Christmas – so get your order in early to avoid disappointment.
Yes I know it comes round faster and faster every year, but now Christmas/Yule is literally only a few weeks away, and if, like me you still have a list of Christmas shopping as long as your arm you will be looking for some great bargain gift ideas.
So let me offer up a few ideas.
instead of the usual old boring, worn out snowmen and santa cards, send something special this year with a beautiful Briar or Anne Stokes Yule card. at £1.97 each a few extra special cards won’t break the bank, and will make sure that your card takes pride of place on your friends mantle shelf.
