We are currently making more nests for The Black Hen as our last order sold out in one day! Julie takes beautiful photos of our nests for her online store and packages them carefully to be posted out to customers.
Each nest is handmade from vines, ferns, creepers, dried seed pods, feathers and mosses that we collect at Bruny Island, bush tracks and in our own garden. Although making the nests is a time-consuming process, after we have shaped the basic forms of the nests and left them to 'set' into their shape the fun starts as we add special elements to give each nest it's own character and uniqueness. We are so happy that they are also being enjoyed by others through stores like The Black Hen of Elizabeth Town and soon to be found at Crazy Beautiful Homewares in Hawkesbury. We are consciously limiting stockists of our nests at the moment so that we can ensure the quality of our product and be able to meet our order commitments.
We are trialing a few new products in our own online store at the moment and these little circular swing tags make a delightful decorative element to gift wrapping or they can be written on the reverse side. I like to tie on some feathers with the tag for an especially natural effect.
We are nearing the end of summer in Australia and the days are starting to shorten as we gear up for the colder months. Autumn is one of our favourite seasons so we are looking forward to nature's spectacular colour changes.
