From The Workshop

We are appreciating the views from our bench across the Sussex countryside; the slowly lengthening days and the early signs of spring bulbs pushing their way to the light are a welcome reminder of the brighter times to come. We have a gentle routine in the workshop and although we are unable to meet you in person we are still working and are available by email, phone or video. You can contact us here on the link below.

"i carry your heart..."

                                       i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
                                       my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
                                       i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
                                       by only me is your doing, my darling)
                                       i fear
                                       no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
                                       no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
                                       and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
                                       and whatever a sun will always sing is you

                                       here is the deepest secret nobody knows
                                       (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
                                       and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
                                       higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
                                       and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

                                       i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

February Birthstone

A member of the quartz family, the beautifully hued amethyst has been admired throughout history. Amethyst was one of the five cardinal gems (along with diamond, emerald, ruby and sapphire) prized for their value by the ancient world. Tibetans consider the stone to be sacred to the buddha and carve prayer stones from it; the ancient Greeks believed an amethyst amulet would protect the wearer from intoxication, and rings for the church and royalty have used the deepest papal purple gemstones. These days we use an array of tones; from pale, pretty lilacs and lavenders to intense violets and traditional purples. Lucky February babies.
