Jack Frost....

Jack Frost.

By John P Smeeten.

( Taken with kindness from Google)

**********

Jack Frost was in the garden,

I saw him there at dawn;

He was dancing round the bushes

And prancing on the lawn

He had a cloak of silver

A hat all shimmering white,

A wand of glittering stardust,

And shoes of sunbeam light.

~ Jack Frost was in the garden

When I went out to play

He nipped my toes and fingers

And quickly ran away...

I chased him round the wood-shed

But, oh I'm sad to say

that though I chased him everywhere

He simply wouldn't stay!.

~ Watch out! watch out!
Jack Frost is about...
As we move on swiftly through the seasons
You can't help but notice winter with all
her vengeance
has arrived once more..
And with first visits from Jack Frost and his chilly cloak of
white frosting...
~ there is no going back!
The first snows have fallen on the hill sides
here in Cumbria too...
Oh My!
~ keeping cosy is most apparent right now!

~ We just had to include this picture
of, Little Bee this morning...
who incidentally isn't put off in the slightest
by Jack Frost....
Life is just a bowl of cherries, for her right now!!!

Awwwww!

Here in the shop we have
 November wrapped up all cosy and warm!

With the most twinkly of lights and garlands of 
winter red berries!
It's a treat for the eyes...
and indeed all the senses...
with scents of baked ginger bread and cinnamon candles 
burning low!

~ And to beat those winter chills we have the cosiest 
of quilts in the most prettiest
of colours in the shop right now...
Perfect for snuggling down with a 
mug of delicious coco piled high with marshmallows
of course...

( There is a special cosy 20% reduction off the full price too)

Papa Elf in his most favourite rocking chair....

He gives you the warmest welcome
at the door!

~ Here at The Hive we are counting down 
the weeks till Christmas time..

~ Just five weeks to go!
*******
We would like to thank you also
for the kindest of comments always...
And wish you a cosy rest of week....
And remember don't let mischievous
Jack Frost nip those fingers and toes...
He's out and about just now, YOU KNOW!!!

'Twinkly Thoughts' ~ ********

Bumble Bee's folklore tale for today.

******

'Those who believe in fairies say that drinking

elderberry wine will help you see more clearly the fairy folk in ones garden.'......

( A tiny visitor about his business just recently,)

soo sweet!

~ As we move swiftly through these 

glorious late fall days

and indeed this exciting, vibrant month......
which evocks things seemingly

  going bump in the night!

And with the clocks going back this

 evening for the beginning of winter time.......
brrrrrrr!

~ 

Our thoughts at 'Bumble Bee' are turning to a more

'Twinkly' time that is just around the very next corner..

******

Come take a peek!

Ho Ho Ho!

( Our Christmas window)

This week saw the very exciting time of Christmas

arriving .....

With Baubles, Bells, Santa's, Elves

and of course some seasonal glitter!

~

Our very first Christmas preview evening

 at 'The Hive' was held this week too 

~ and went wonderfully well...

A big HUG and THANK YOU to all who popped through the door 

to make this evening such a wonderful 'Twinkly' 

event!
*******

Maileg elves very busy in our window displays

just now!

~Listen gently you can just hear their bells 'a' ringing!

*******

All the Bumble Bee's worked incredibly

 hard burning the midnight oils to bring Christmas through

the doors in October.....

And we are ever so delighted we did!

With seasonal mulled wine, mince pies

and live music by Olivia throughout the evening....

~ We all had the most magical time!

******

Once upon a time 

'Christmas' has arrived at, The Hive

and we believe we are on a countdown 

with eight weeks to go till then!

Exciting!!

Pop in for lovely gift ideas for those special peeps!

~ Or just to say hello....

A  warm and cosy welcome awaits you..
