We're always picking wild flowers in our woodland and never seem to have the perfect vessel to display them in - either for pleasure or identification - so having found an unusual lump of Sycamore saved on my workbench I turned this small vase for single blooms or tiny flowers. The wood came from Northaw in Hertfordshire years ago and I kept some odd shaped pieces simply because the grain had an amazing fluidity to it, probably because it was a garden tree and had been constantly hacked at by the owner! The shape of the lump, roughly triangular led to the shape and I've shown it here with Forget-me-nots looking enchantingly romantic...

  • I wanted to buy my porridge-loving partner a spurtle as a birthday present, and I looked at almost every spurtle I could get online and didn't particularly think any of them perfect. I tried Folksy because in my experience there's some pretty impressive craftspeople selling through it, and it turned out I was right. I thought this acorn design was smart and clever, and apt for my partner, who loves Scotland and works there regularly, but is, like myself, English. I also liked that Robin explained exactly where the wood came from, and since I'd originally thought to buy an antique spurtle, but not been able to find one, it seemed appropriate as well. I really appreciated the detail and evident care Robin showed throughout my interaction with him, right down to packaging so smart that I didn't need to rewrap it - and when it arrived the spurtle itself was even more beautiful than it looked in the pictures. My partner loved his present, and I loved buying it - so all round a perfect purchase!
