Saying Goodbye to a Magical May, Wild Jewellery Gallery & a Weekend Sale

Wild Fen

Hello Wild Soul,

How are you as we approach the end of May? It has been, for the most part, very warm and sunny here in Northamptonshire. The month began with carpets of Bluebells and frothy Hawthorn hedges and is ending with Elderflowers and Roses coming into bloom.

May began with the Bluebells…
And ended with the Roses

The recent rains have come as a welcome relief for the garden. The strawberry beds seem very happy for the soaking, as am I, now that I can nibble their sweet red fruits as I do my garden rounds!

Strawberry season has begun!

We have really enjoyed trading at some wonderful events this month, including the very first Suffolk Witchcraft Market. We will be returning in October and December.

We have so many great events coming up next, and I shall be sharing more about them towards the end of this post.

Up early, ready for market day!

Wild Jewellery Gallery

From time to time, we get tagged in your posts on social media, and we always feel so inspired, seeing you in your Wild Jewellery.

It has encouraged me to begin creating a gallery of your photos, to celebrate you in your pendants and what they have come to mean to you.

To express our gratitude, anyone who submits a photo to contribute to our gallery will be entered into a draw to win a custom piece of Wild Jewellery AND a print of their choice!

TO ENTER:

  • Send us a photo of you in your Wild Jewellery that you are happy for us to share on our website and social media.
  • Include some words about what your pendant means to you and how you feel wearing it.
  • Optional – share something about you (your passion, your work, what lights you up) we would love to celebrate you too!
  • Send them to us via Instagram or email them directly to: wildfen@outlook.com by Sunday 1st June to be entered into our draw.
  • If you aren’t comfortable sharing a photo of yourself but feel called to send us some words about your Wild Jewellery, we would be most grateful and you will still be entered into our draw. Any questions, feel free to reach out.

We are heading into festival season, and will be attending 4 over the Summer! Here is where you can find us next, starting with this weekend at the beautiful Ignite Your Soul: Intro to the Summer Solstice event.

I am still finding my way with this new platform, but you are more than welcome to join me there where I share reflections from a life lived close to nature.

Wishing you all plenty of June beauty & magic,

December Updates & Last Weekend for Orders!

Wild Fen

Good evening wild soul,

As we reach mid-December, I feel a sense of relief to know that we are almost at the shortest day of the year now, how are you holding up?

On Saturday, 21st December we reach the Winter Solstice, after which the light slowly begins to expand once again. Can you believe, that by the end of January, we will have an extra hour of daylight compared with today!

Yule Reflection card in store now

We have had a busy month making up your orders, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has shopped with us again this year. It really means the world to us, to still be here, creating gifts for you and your loved ones for another year.

Shop Update

If you are still thinking of shopping with us before Christmas, please do get your orders in by 7pm on SUNDAY 15th DECEMBER. Any orders placed after this time will be shipped out in the New Year. This is to ensure your UK order has plenty of time to reach you before Christmas, given the increased pressures on the postal system at this time.

December Moments

Whilst this time of year can feel busy and full, we hope you are finding some cosy, slower moments amidst it all. Energy can be lower at this time of year so make sure to take a few extra moments to nurture yours this month. A cup of tea drunk slowly under a blanket. Getting into bed a little earlier to read a book, light some candles or sink into a hot bath. It need not be fancy, just something that allows you to take a deeper exhale after a long day.

The last Full Moon of the year will rise on Sunday 15th at around 3.20pm in the UK. Fingers are crossed for clear skies so that we can catch a glimpse at some point in the evening.

I wanted to leave you with a few of our favourite photos from December’s gone by as a reminder of the beauty that can be found on these cold Winter days. I hope you enjoy them and find some moments of peace this week,

Much love,

July update, new tree pendants & more

Wild Fen

Hello Wild Soul,

We have finally dried out after a rather soggy weekend in the woods trading at the fabulous Folk in a Field festival in Norfolk. It was the first time we have taken our creations to a festival and despite the weekend being extremely wet (with the odd storm thrown in for good measure) we met so many lovely people and listened to some great music.

Today’s post is a recap of July so far. I also wanted to let you know about some new trees that we have begun working with and share what is new in store this week, so let’s dive in!

July

The month began creatively, making some new stands and signs to upgrade our stall. We love to reuse materials wherever possible. For our new signs we sanded down some broken fence panels, and turned 2 cupboard doors into a makeshift blackboard and a jewellery display!

Jumper, wool hat, socks and coat in July!

July still feels far from ‘typical’ weather wise. I was in full Winter mode for part of the festival and I have found myself craving some rather Autumnal foods… not to mention the extra blankets and jumpers.

But I am really appreciating those bright, dry days when they arrive. Making the most of gathering some of our herbs and flowers that are in abundance, putting my bare feet on the earth and feeling the sun on my face. We had a lovely evening walk at a nearby wildflower meadow and saw some butterflies, which I have been missing so much this year!

Wild Fen Offerings

After collecting a piece of windfallen wood, we leave it to dry for many months before we begin working with it. We are very excited to introduce you to the newest additions to our tree energy pendant collection, handcrafted from Rowan and Alder wood! You can find them In store now.

Rowan trees are known as ‘Mountain Ash’ or ‘Lady of the Mountains’ due to their ability to grow higher up the mountainside than any of our other native trees. They symbolise protection, resilience, adaptability and facing challenges. They can also guide us in connecting with our intuition & meditative states.

Alder trees thrive beside the water’s edge. They are experts at transforming watery landscapes, making them more hospitable for other trees and wildlife. Along with their deep connection with water, they are often associated with the fire element too, and can teach us about balancing opposites and becoming more comfortable exploring our emotional landscapes.

At Midsummer, I gathered some herbs and flowers that are abundant here on the land. I crafted a batch of Herb and Flora Smoulder sticks that are in store now. They combine a magical mix of Sage, Rosemary, Bay, Lavender, Yarrow, Feverfew and Rose and embody the energy of those bright, warm days.

Upcoming dates

Our next event will be Ye Olde Wytches Market in Newark on Saturday 10th August alongside some magical traders and readers! We always love to connect with any of you that are able to make it, and if you know anybody that lives nearby and may want to come, please share it with them.

Wishing you all some more warmth this month,
