A cheeky little post inspired by a lovely young lady who decided to buy her partner a keyring with an anchor on it. The Wool Witch then piped up, “Are you trying to tell him he’s a w-anchor?” We all snorted, she said he’d find that hilarious, and suddenly here we are. 🤣 A couple of keyrings at £5.99 and two kinds of earrings with sterling silver and gold vermeil earwires. 🤣 Right, back to work. Hmm… maybe I should make some necklaces…

Purchases over the last few days may or may not have been influenced by Ventnor Pirate Festival! What a busy few days down by the beach in very warm weather. The festival concludes today as does Ventnor Carnival Association with the illuminated carnival this evening. There’s nowhere better to spend your summer holidays. 😍🏴‍☠️😎

What a wonderful surprise. The shop was closed when the awards were handed out so we only found out today we were awarded Second Place in the Ventnor Carnival Week Window Dressing Competition. This was judged by the Carnival Prince (now King) so thanks go to him for his excellent taste. 😉 Ventnor Carnival Association has hosted a hugely fun week and the Illuminated Carnival finishes things up tomorrow evening. 🥳

There are several exciting events to celebrate today - Ventnor Carnival parade and Ventnor Pirate Festival to name but two - but we had to honour the rarest, the solar eclipse. 🌞🌓🌚 Here’s a selection of shop goodies which contain the sun or moon or both… tarot and oracle cards, artwork, handmade cards, gemstones, charms and jewellery including moonstone of course.
I was living on the Isle of Mull during the last major (total) solar eclipse and viewing involved a piece of card and a baking tray, possibly full of water? Whatever you’re doing, stay safe! 👀

Absolutely thrilled to have these squishy squashy cephalopods in the shop. They’re cuddly, they’re cute, but most importantly, they are CE tested and have labelling to confirm this. They are not suitable for tiny children (ages 0 to 3) but make safe toys, comforters or best friends for a child over the age of three. Thank you Jules Fox for entrusting us with these adorable octopuppies. They cost £27.50 each. 🐙

Introducing a fabulous new product that we hope you’ll love. Angel Lucky Dips. At £6.50 each they are our priciest lucky dips but they are also the best value in terms of price paid vs. contents. Each Lucky Dip contains a gemstone angel necklace (with cord or chain), an angel charm, a gemstone heart and an angel oracle card. These would make brilliant presents for a friend or just a little boost for yourself if need one. Some examples of contents are shown. 🥰

Hurrah! It’s Day One of Ventnor Carnival week. We’ve added a little something we don’t normally sell to the window as part of the window spot competition and for their “Glitz and Glamour” theme we present a “posh pink pirate.” You can tell she’s posh because she’s got a flamingo instead of a parrot. 😉 She is bedecked in jewels and accompanied by some ocean friends. We hope you like her. 🩷
If you’ve ever enjoyed Ventnor Carnival (started in 1889 making it the second oldest in the UK and run today entirely by volunteers) please consider making a donation to their fundraiser. Each Carnival costs over £10k to run and the committee have to raise every penny.

We have some beautiful new ceramic pieces in the shop from MLD pottery.. Check out these gorgeous glazes, so organic and gorgeous … like Mother Nature’s birds’ eggs or mosses in a forest…. no two pieces the same. Hand thrown and sturdy enough for everyday use, they would also be ideal for special occasions. Just don’t hide them in a cupboard. Make sure they can be seen and admired. 🤩

The most perfect gemstone dice have arrived. Delightful little cubes of 16 x 16 x 16mm polished stones with gold coloured pips. We did check and, yes, the opposing sides add up to seven. What colour would you choose? Green is traditionally the colour of good luck so maybe the aventurine? ✅

The official birthstone of August is peridot, the only gemstone in the world that comes in a single colour. 💚 Here are a few real peridot pieces and some “the same colour as peridot” Swarovski and cubic zirconia items we have at the moment. There will be more soon. BTW if you’re not sure how to pronounce August’s birthstone, both “per-ee-doe” and “per-ee-dot” are perfectly fine. 💚
