Jumpy Jack & GoOgigly


Jumpy Jack & GoOgigly
by Meg RoSoff and ii. by Sophie Blackall

Meet Jumpy Jack, a very nervous snail who’s afraid
of monsters, and Googily, who is a—well, who is a very
good friend, indeed. Wherever they go, Googily kindly
checks high and low just to make sure there are no scary
monsters about. But as every child knows, monsters
come in many shapes and sizes. Some are even blue
with hairy eyebrows and pointy teeth.

Fae mushroom garden


A small fae garden built on a driftwood burl with
six little acorn cap mushrooms, a snail shell, a two tier
twig fence, a soft grey feather and lots of moss and lichen.
A charming addition to any room and the perfect
accompaniment for faery furniture,
dolls and fae houses
