These maple leaf decorations are lovely for all year round in the garden, hanging from trees or fixed to a wall or fence. They’re even perfect as Christmas tree or mantelpiece decorations - why not hang them inside during the festive season then outside for the rest of the year?
Featuring the quote “The flowers in the garden are a reflection of the stars in the sky,” you won’t fail to be charmed and inspired each time you see it.
The leaves are suitable for outdoor and indoor settings, made with mild steel, with exterior grade powder coating. Over time, if used outside, there will be eventually the risk of rust, which may be perceived as an attractive feature of aging. Otherwise, keep your leaf treated with a metal paint such as hammerite. If used indoors and kept dry, it is unlikely to rust.

Self-sufficiency and organic living have never been more prominent and hen keeping is becoming increasingly popular. Part of a growing series of authoritative and inspirational titles, this book provides an introduction to some of the key aspects of aspiring to a self-sufficient lifestyle by keeping your own chickens and benefiting from the produce.
You don't need a large garden to keep poultry and an average family only needs a couple of hens to keep them well stocked in fresh eggs all year round. The set-up costs are minimal and you don't need a whole host of expensive gadgets or equipment to care for your chickens.
Packed with information on poultry keeping (housing, food and water, daily care, disease prevention and cure, encouraging egg production and breeding), there is also comprehensive information on breeds and a list of useful contacts should you need them.

The Hedgerow Handbook is the ultimate guide for nature lovers and foragers alike.
If there's one distinctive feature of the British countryside, it has to be the hedgerow. In fact, hedgerows are such an established part of our landscape that sometimes we take them for granted.
But take a closer look, and the diversity and variety of plant species that form them is little short of wondrous. And it is not only plant life that thrives in abundance in the hedgerow - native wild animals, birds and insects are protected and nourished by them. We know that at least 65 species of birds live in our hedgerows and that they are crucial to the survival of moths, bats and dormice.
From angelica to ash and bird cherry to borage, from pineapple weed to plantain and wild garlic to wimberries, each entry is accompanied by an exquisite full-colour illustration to help you identify each plant or flower, along with its history and folklore, and culinary and medicinal uses. You won't find yet another recipe for blackberry pie nor nettle soup here, however - this is not your run-of-the-mill hedgerow book.

Craft is at the very heart of British identity, from stained-glass windows in country churches to the Enid Blyton charm of thatched houses; from Harris Tweed (R) (famously poached by Coco Chanel) to the ceremonial livery worn by horses at Buckingham Palace. The burgeoning of digital craftsmanship is also enriching ground-breaking technologies, including microbial weaving and bespoke-made vessels for growing human tissue. Craft Britain brings together watchmakers with saddlers; bell casters with neon benders; shoemakers with silversmiths; potters with orrery-makers; stonemasons with weavers; embroiderers with basket-makers - and a myriad other craft traditions.This book aims to beat the drum for craft, waking people up to the fact that they need to support the country's rich seam of incredible craftspeople and so encourage new generations to master the skills needed to preserve and continue craft traditions. Craft Britain proves that craftsmanship in Britain is neither dying nor dead, but is a continuing and exciting exploration of process, materials and ideas spanning architecture, interiors, fashion, art and design

She was honoured with an invitation from His Majesty The King Charles III to showcase her exquisite willow sculptures at Highgrove.
The original Tigga resides on the meadow edge of the Stumpery, intricately crafted with British willow interwoven with wire and bronze wire. The use of contrasting willow colours in this Jack Russell dog’s design creates a striking form and definition. The sculpture is built around a sturdy steel armature to ensure its longevity. Finally, each sculpture is meticulously coated with a linseed oil and turpentine solution to preserve and protect it for years to come.
Please note: This willow sculpture is bespoke and made to order
