Sometime in April the sun stops setting in the arctic circle and polar day begins, a period of four months of daytime round the clock. This doesn't happen in Hassocks, thank goodness. Polar day continues through the months of May, June and July, until around the 23rd of August, when the sun sets, for the first time since April. It rises again in a couple of hours, but it's then a steep slope sliding rapidly into polar night with all the stars and auroras and whatnot. I only mention Polar day because it always times itself perfectly with my workshop doors closing and subsequent reopening four months later.
So I've been in there these past few days trying to remember where everything goes and feeling the creative flow starting up. My Etsy shop will reopen in September, meanwhile you can catch a glimpse over here of what will be in stock, and I'll be selling some things on stories so keep your eyes peeled x j

Good Morning Wednesday friends!πŸŒžπŸ˜ŠπŸ§‘πŸ’›
We're going back to the beginning of my little shop today, remembering that it all started with a Baltic Amber teething necklace I made for my baby grandson, who has grown over the decade into a fabulous, fun, kind and talented young chap who I love to bits. I just had to make the one, but it was a new skill I had to learn, and it became an adventure into sourcing the best materials to honour an ancient Eastern European tradition.
What happened after making the one, was that I had some materials left over and I wanted to make a necklace for his sister, my lovely granddaughter. I found more amber, of different shades and textures and fell in love with amber, and the art of knotting beads to make an item that had not only beauty, but meaning, and carried intention and a healing vibration. I varied my stringing techniques, added semi precious gemstones, and made an adult size necklace for my own aches and pains. Soon I was making and selling and between other jobs and life's winding paths in many directions, I've always had a string of beads in a needle on my board to return to.
The picture is of a necklace I made using cognac coloured baroque beads from Poland.

Good Morning my friends! 🌞
It's been a while ( I am a creature who hibernates seasonally) and I hope you're doing well? We're talking Tarot today, it's one of the offerings in my Etsy shop and it's delivered via Etsy Messaging which saves me a trip down to the jolly old Evri shop in this chilly weather. Tarot is a great tool for self-reflection and it never fails to fascinate me how insightful and powerful it can be.
We have to approach it on its own terms, though. There is a layout Dave and I use for answering 'yes or no' questions, and I offer that as an email reading, ( I open my books periodically for email readings...keep an eye on my stories) The layout is really cool, using 8 cards in a specific format. Other than using this spread, I generally encourage people to ask open questions...things like, 'what do I need to know about my work/career/relationship' which yield SO much more information for us than a straight this/that yes/no.
I love that there are no rules to Tarot. No one owns it (of course individual deck creators own the copyright to their work) and there's no right or wrong way to approach it. I love that you don't need to be able to read to get answers from Tarot. All of us who are lucky enough to have the gift of sight can be moved by the images we see. Feelings and thoughts and associations arise from the shapes and colours and forms we are seeing in single or combinations of cards.
Have you got any questions about my tarot practice? 😊✨🌞
Have a great day x
