Crystal Fortune Dice
One of the things I discovered when I was running my Curiosity Shop a few years ago were gorgeous little crystal glass divination dice. These dice were sold in the 1930’s as a parlour game but were long forgotten, or so I thought. With a fascination for divination, these exquisite sparkling magical crystals became an obsession and I began collecting them, searching everywhere and buying all I could find. Most of the die, having lost their flimsy cardboard boxes many years ago, were lacking any means to show their beauty, so I sourced little organza bags, tiny little wooden display stands and beautiful antique and vintage jewellery boxes and caskets.…

The Beginning
The Penchanted Cottage and garden didn’t always look this way. When we first bought the cottage it was in quite a bad state and needed a lot doing to it, little did we know then but, that was just the beginning of huge problems and years of battling and work to get it right. There’s much more to see about the cottage on our siuster website Curious Cottage where you can see the cootage and its transformation, but this website is all about the magic and charm of the cottage now. Later, I’m going to share my antique and vintage items for you to purchase if you wish, including my…

Put a Little Bit of Magic into Your Life
Over the last few years I’ve been on a journey and one of the things I learned from my therapist was to embrace the child within me. This has been by far the most rewarding thing I’ve done. But I had to do it in stages in order to fully accept the child me inmto the adult me. It’s a sad state of affaris that we live in today. The child part of us is beaten down and told to shut up and behave and we do it because we fear looking silly. To bring that part of us back into our lives is very difficult but if we remember…

Why I Live This Way
As we begin to get older, we start to examine our way of life. We ask ourselves are we happy? Do we want more from life? We also think our spirituality and ponder about ways to connect to nature perhaps, our inner selves and we start to wonder about what’s behind it all. Also, some of us think about nature and the planet and how the governments of the last hundred years or so have allowed such harm to happen to everything we should hold dear. That’s exactly what happened to me, anyway. I think this mostly applies to women for lots of reasons but I suppose there are men…
