"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

2020 Advent Calendar [6] – Miss Ella

I love Ella Goodwin and her work: I have a beautiful badger pin and it’s my absolute favorite accessory since I bought it. I already talked about her here. On her beautiful shop on Etsy you can find a lot of her work, from do-it-yourself diorama books to brooches and pins, to cushions and prints. My favorite items are A Wander of Wonder and the Needlefeet fairy-tale, a delightlfully illustrated small book, the Netsuke Sketches, the Plain Mushroom, Bear Mushroom and Bunny Mushroom brooches (with the original illustration), the Moon Notebook, the Small Faery mirror, the Halloween illustration. Her signature work is, without any doubt, the Cat. For this season, I recommend the cat greeting cards (below) and the bear card. But that’s just my personal selection: there’s an incredible amount of beautiful stuff on the shop, you take your pick.

I warned you I would try and do this: I’m not making any promises, let’s see if I can keep this up.
