We have a fascinating array of vintage pieces new in the shop this week, from Baltic amber poppets to classic Scottish design, and a few lovely finds for our Feral men in between. Go to the What’s New section at Feralstrumpet.co.uk to find them.
A Menagerie of Companions Just In
This week in the shop we have a magnificent menagerie of new necklaces inspired by adorable companion creatures and totems. Plus I’ve made another rutilated quartz pendant as well as a beautiful frothy green chrysophrase that might call to you. You can find them all in the What’s New Section at Feralstrumpet.co.uk
Vintage Folkloric Beauties in the Shop this Week
Spring is in the air, though it is still very chilly here in the North of Scotland. Mike and I have just returned from a walk in Wrack Wood where the snowdrops carpet the ground all around. They are my favourite flowers– full of the fire of the waking earth.
This week’s shop update we have several vintage horse brasses, each with a fascinating history. These small magical objects make beautiful altar decor and and also accent small corners or spaces in your home.
I’ve also found the sweetest little pewter bat pin back. She is waiting to flutter her way onto your jean jacket or dungarees!
Plus, there’s a new colour in the ever popular fairy drops design. The rustic amber has beautiful colour variants.
Big and Bold Witch Life Earrings
Bold new pentagram earrings with romantic Celtic accents are in this week’s shop update. Look in the Witch Life collection at feralstrumpet.co.uk and find other pentagram and moon-sister inspired necklaces to pair with these statement earrings.
I love wearing pentagram earrings because they are unexpected. They frame the face with this protective, devotional symbol and are a sign to fellow witches that you are and ally walking a parallel path.
New In
Brilliant new necklaces and earrings are back in. Shop updates happen every Friday so there is always something to check out in the What’s New section at feralstrumpet.co.uk.
