Season's Greetings! We are taking a break over Christmas and the New Year and will be back in the studio from the 6th January 2025. Orders for smaller designs will continue to be picked, packed and dispatched throughout this time. Our larger, made-to-order artwork (as well as retail orders) will be commenced upon our return. Don't forget our gift vouchers! Perfect for a last minute gift idea. Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year!

And for that minute a blackbird sang close by is taken from the Edward Thomas poem Adlestrop.

Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.

The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
No one left and no one came
On the bare platform. What I saw
Was Adlestrop—only the name

And willows, willow-herb, and grass,
And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry,
No whit less still and lonely fair
Than the high cloudlets in the sky.

And for that minute a blackbird sang
Close by, and round him, mistier,
Farther and farther, all the birds
Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

The leaves are perfect for all year round use in the garden, hanging from trees, fixed to a wall or fence. Even perfect for Christmas hanging from your tree or the mantlepiece. Why not hang inside during the festive season then outside for the rest of the year?
