World Kindness day

 Still preparing for opening on 3rd December. It's a bit of an unreal time. I'm used to having the house to myself all day and didn't realise how much I've become accustomed to it being just me and the naughty kitties. My husband has been working at home now since mid February and having a great time - no commuting and fitting in lots of bike rides by getting up with the lark (actually with the cats when they get bored and hungry - usually about 5.30am).

I didn't get to photograph all of Candabytes work yesterday before the light went so here's the rest of it today. They are passionately committed to environmentally friendly and sustainable practices, using recycled materials and even having vegan envelopes. Buying their uplifting prints and cards doesn't just bring happiness to you and any potential recipients, it treats our world with kindness. 

Don't forget, you can buy or reserve anything for sale at the open house by emailing me at Bluebellwouldopenhouse@gmail.com. We're still hoping you'll be able to see it in real life...

Rainy days and Mondays

 All my intentions of a mass photography session to bring you more of what's available for sale at the open house dissolved in a day of iron grey skies and pouring rain.

However, we are now into the last two weeks before opening (albeit virtually at first) so I spent the day making some face masks out of Christmas themed fabric.

Masks look set to be here for some time yet and will be essential for visiting open houses so we may as well have some fun with them. Mine use 100% cotton fabric and are fully reversible and washable. No excuse for the environmentally problematic disposable ones; sometimes it feels like the strides forward environmentally friendly alternatives have made during the last few years have reversed in a time of coronavirus.

I will be making more masks over the next couple of weeks but here's the first batch. £5 each with free UK delivery. Email me at Bluebellwouldopenhouse@gmail.com to buy.
