Blossoms & Bees
Being so close to Manchester with their bee branding, we recognise this thread with many bee related gifts - sticking black and yellow bee brooches, keyring and garland by Amica Accessories and Felt So Good for little gifts.
Bees adorn bags and purses by LUA and Pretty Craft, 3D cards by Forever Cards and illustrated enamel mug by Stubbs Mugs as well as large knowledge mug by Konitz.
Bees feature in rather special vintage inspired jewellery by Anna Sherburne and paua shell pendants by Tide Jewellery. Tiny micro blossom flowers in rings and pendants by Shrieking Violet are ever popular, made of real flowers, as are a range paper weights by Hafod from cornflower and nigella to thistle and red rose.
Where would bees be without blossoms which have been magnificent this year. Almond blossom silhouette vases by Dartington Glass are great setting for floral displays, while jugs, mugs and coasters by Joe Davies look pretty in the kitchen.
The heady scents of orange and other blossoms from beautifully wrapped soaps by The English Soap Company,
A stand out oil painting Cherry Blossom by Sara Philpott is uplifting in its soft light and colour, and a closely observed drawing by Linda Brill of Magnolia Blossom will both give hours of joy, and last while summer blooms change to autumn leaves.
