Somewhere along the banks of the River Thames lives a small group of Mice and Bunnies...they are brightly coloured and believe in food, tea parties and hot summer days. They are the Briesberry Mice and Carrotby Bunnies and wish to welcome you to their colourful world...

Folksy Friday : Eggs!

Okay, now I know its not Easter yet but recently I've been reading Bill Oddies 'Little Black Bird Book' (I'm not a birdwatcher - I just found it in a charity store and loved the little illustrations) Its quite a funny read - even if you don't understand the bird terminology (which I don't) , but Bill talks about how he used to collect eggs as a child and of course this is very rightly illegal now.

So I thought it would be good to celebrate the beauty of eggs in this collection of work from some very talented Folksy sellers.... (and not a sticky chocolate in sight!)




This sweet house decoration reminds me of Joseph Cornell's boxes, I like to think the little bird has just flown away (but will be on her way back) - and don't worry the egg is not a real one!




This unusal ring can be customised to include an 'egg' for each of the recipients children, awww!




I'm convinced eggs do have a secret language and chat away between themselves when our backs are turned...



For a stylish dippy egg and soldiers....



These two birds are rightly protective of their special blue eggs.




Simply stunning recycled silver necklace. Each one handcrafted and slightly different...
