Yestreen

Talking as I was about getting nice things in the post. I was very happy to receive my copy of Yestreen, (incidentally, word fans, Yestreen means 'last evening' in old English which I think is so beautiful).



It is the debut record from Bearcraft. Bearcraft is my dear friend Dicky's band. And although I may be biased, I think he has made a really wonderful, beautiful record. You can listen to some of it here.



I'm so glad I bought a copy because it came with covetable limited edition artwork, done by another dear and talented friend, artist and illustrator, Jessica Akerman, you can see more of her work here. Also, she and Dicky have just had a very sweet baby!



Well done friends! Good work all round I'd say!

New! {Vintage} In The Shop!

Hooray! At laaaaaaaast! Some new things to brighten the shelves of my little shop. The sale is still on for a short time *only* while I add some more newness (see here for details). And I have lowered postage on most things too, now it's mostly £2.50 in the UK and £3.50 elsewhere, unless it's a exceptionally heavy or delicate item. So do amble over and take a look and be sure to let me know what you think!

p.s. Twitter is highly addictive. And I have changed my name. Thanks so much for all your warm welcomings!

I've added another string to my virtual bow. Twitter. Yes. Well, it's all the rage, innit? Here I am - confusingly tweeting as the silver forest (my long forgotten tumblr name)because I couldn't be le petit oiseau. Siiigh. Anyway, who here also has a twitter thing going on? I need a bit of hand-holding I think. My plan is to be pithy and witty. But we'll just have to see about that.

My plan for full-steam-ahead, as per last week has faltered slightly. Luckily, it's for reasons beyond my control so I don't have to feel so guilty about it. And by tomorrow, it should be all sorted! I am still all set for updating the shop, (see more goodies below). Until then, shop away with merriment, there's 25% off everything until the new stuff comes in. Just use the code, endofsummer at the checkout. Everything must go. I am open to modest bouts of haggling too, so do email me, I might just say yes!

And I am also hoping to have a little giveaway soon (note to self - this week?) to usher in the new season. Autumn, eh? I guess you're here to stay.
