Fearne Cotton wears Blowing in the Wind... !

In this week's Look magazine we spotted this pic of Fearne wearing one of our lucky clover necklaces in the gold finish. It looks cute we're sure you'll agree !

Lucky charms are bang on trend at the moment, since fashion is having a charm moment-keys, wishbones, love hearts and lockets as well as of course, our clovers are all in the spotlight.

Wear them layered for an eclectic look (this works well if they are smaller in size) or if they are larger, like our clovers, then they work best as a stand alone piece.

From little acorns mighty oak trees grow

Most of us know that the meaning of this quotation is that great things come from small beginnings. This proverb has been in general use since the 14th Century !

But you might not know that the word acorn doesn't come from 'oak' and 'corn', as is popularly supposed, but from the Old English 'aecern', meaning berry or fruit. Acorns are the nut of the mighty oak tree. They usually contain just one seed and are a symbol of greatness.

The Lacey Oak is a beautiful small to medium sized deciduous shade tree mostly grown in central and south Texas, its leaves are leathery and range from dusky blue to blue-gray to grayish green. Their fall color ranges from pink or peach to gold. Their leaves are quite small in comparison to other oaks This particular oak is grown primarily to protect this unique species.

Our stylish Blowing in the Wind collection features hand picked real leaves, preserved with different finishes. Each leaf is a handcrafted piece of wearable art, unique and totally individual.

If you haven’t seen the leaves, they’re stunningly delicate, but surprisingly robust, and with finishes as varied as Gold, Silver, Brass, Copper, Iridescent and Vintage Silver they can we worn with almost any outfit, both as a dramatic choker, or at a fashionable long necklace length.
They fit in with the current flora and fauna fashion themes popular this Autumn and make a stunning Autumnal window display with plenty of kerb appeal. Our natural wood Point of Sale and branded cotton pouches display the collection beautifully.

Leaves available include Cottonwood, Aspen, Lacey Oak, Birch and the Sugar Canadian Maple in various sizes.
