Spring has sprung! The Scilly scented narcissi have bloomed, the tulips are on their way and I've even seen a few butterflies!    Just this week I've also noticed a lot of birds around; a barn owl, a pair of buzzards and of course several garden birds who have been investigating our bird box in the garden... Let's hope someone takes up this lovely new 'des res'! This inspired me to make a nest treasury on Etsy celebrating all things birdy! Click here to view it! On the subject of nests, I've also been dabbling in a little crochet - here's a preview of my crochet pearl nest earrings. Hope you like them!  

Really looking forward to exhibiting at a couple of great events this month. Inspired Scilly will be attending From Yorkshire With Love this Sunday 14th April and the craft fair organised by Yorkshire Craft Fairs at the Galtres Centre, Easingwold on Saturday 20th April. Come and check out our new knit wire brooch collection (see just a few of these below). There will also be knitted wire cuffs and bracelets and vintage hairpieces to buy.  

A lovely gift idea for Mother's Day - these hand-knitted mesh wire brooches are adorned with seed beads and Swarovski Crystal and come presented in a white gift box. You can even commission your own colour-way and have it sent in time for Mother's Day! Available to purchase at www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly (under the knit wire brooch section)  

There have been several good articles about Scilly recently, in particular the second largest of the islands, the lovely Tresco. Click on the links for a selection to peruse over with your afternoon cuppa. Conde Nast Traveller Article - with a bit of fashion thrown in! Also, a travel article in The Independent. Lastly, A BBC report on former Prime Minister Harold Wilson's love of the islands. Plus, Ray Mears goes exploring the islands in tomorrow's 'Wild Britain' at 8pm on ITV.  

Inspired Scilly will be attending the Artsmix craft market this Sunday 17th February at Malton market place. The event coincides with a live cooking demonstration by TV chef James Martin at the Milton Rooms and all tickets purchased will be entered into a prize draw to win a Valentine's meal for two, cooked by James at The Talbot Hotel. For more details and to book tickets, please click here: James Martin Valentine's Weekend Inspired Scilly will be running a special promotion at the craft market on all things heart shaped so come and grab a bargain!  

With spikes of green emerging from the waterlogged soil in the garden comes the promise of Spring. Get glammed up with green with this stunning new crochet wire bracelet with around 50 green glass pearls (with a few splashes of clear, white and charteuse)... It's sure to cheer you up after the winter blues!   Click here to take a closer look!
