TasWood is waking to birdsong, brighter skies, and the first rustle of spring. As the seasons turn, new treasures are arriving in the studio — each one hand‑drawn, hand‑printed, and rooted in quiet woodland magic.
Mother’s Day gifts are now available, including Finn’s Gift of Gloves — an illustration born from a childhood misunderstanding, shaped into a tale of innocence, friendship and folklore. Ink, faerie details and soft watercolour washes bring the story to life, making it a meaningful choice for someone special.
The Easter Hare will be hopping through the Forgotten Tracks Post Portal very soon, carrying a pocketful of seasonal magic. The Easter Hare Collection will be available from the 23rd February, filled with story‑led keepsakes for little explorers.
Favouriting my shop is the best way to catch new arrivals, seasonal stories, and the moment the Easter Hare’s surprises land in TasWood.
This hare is inspired by Jack Valentine, Norfolk’s quietly mischievous February gift giver. For generations, Jack has been part of Valentine’s Eve — a soft knock at the door, a surprise left behind, and the giver gone before anyone can catch a glimpse. Some remember tiny parcels, others recall sweets or handmade notes, all wrapped in that delicious mix of mystery and kindness.
When my sister and I were little, we waited for that knock — two small gifts on the doorstep, never once seeing who left them. That feeling of warmth in the middle of winter, that spark of wonder, is woven into my illustration of Jack ‘Rabbit’ Valentine: a playful hare shaped by Norfolk folklore and the long‑eared jackrabbit of old tales.
This plush hare is my way of passing that magic on — a soft companion for Valentine’s Eve, a gentle nod to the tradition, and a keepsake ready to become part of your own family’s ritual.

Full description
Meet the Personalised Jack ‘Rabbit’ Valentine Plush Hare - a soft, storybook companion inspired by the quiet magic of Valentine’s Eve. Rooted in Norfolk’s old February custom of Jack Valentine, this hare is designed to be part of that cherished moment: the gentle knock, the secret gift left behind, and the little flutter of excitement that has brightened winter nights for generations.
Your hare is hand printed by me in my Norfolk studio with:
"You Are So Loved” and your chosen name (in black)
your chosen initial (in Valentine Red)
plus my illustrated Jack ‘Rabbit’ Valentine, taken from my original ink and watercolour artwork. Placement of the hare may vary slightly depending on the initial, to ensure the best visual balance.
Available in two sizes — a large, cuddly hare or a smaller keyring hare that can be unclipped and kept as a pocket friend.
Large Hare
- Sitting: 21cm
- Stretched: 29cm
Weighted with ceramic beads so it sits beautifully on shelves, bedsides, or cosy corners.
Small Keyring Hare
- Sitting: 10.5cm
- Stretched: 12.5cm
Perfect for keys, bags, or little hands — a tiny wanderer ready to travel with you.
Both hares are wonderfully soft, CE & UKCA certified, and made from high quality plush fabric with stitched eyes. They make thoughtful Valentine’s Eve surprises, heartfelt February gifts, or comforting keepsakes for children (3 years and over), partners, friends, or anyone who could use a little warmth in the long stretch after Christmas.
