Tord Boontje's magical Table Stories

Magical stories are told on Tord Boontje's ceramics and glassware, of birds, squirrels and deer in the forest. Now that the days are darker, we love to light the house with candles.  This glass candle holder throws pretty shadows across the table.

Tord Boontje's red and blue ceramics - where animals and flowers grow out of each other to create a fairy tale scene.

Autumn days

In the streets and round about, the autumn leaves are thick upon the ground and the last apples are on the trees

Here at Clara Francis we have made our own autumn leaves, out of tiny glass beads, and strung them into a necklace (pictured here with a gold owl charm necklace).

Golden Delicious

I can see, through the rifts of the apple-boughs,The delicate blue of the sky,

And the changing clouds with their marvellous tints

That drift so lazily by

"Apple Blossoms,

Horatio-Alger"

It's only been a few weeks since I sat in my garden admiring the blossom on the apple trees and then all the sudden the baby apples have started growing.

I must not wish the Summer away dreaming of gathering the fruits and making pies & tarts so in the meantime I've made my own charming apple necklace...

The apple comes in sterling silver (£75) or gold plated silver (£85) plus postage and is exclusive to my blog for a limited time. For sales, please email shop@clarafrancis.co.uk
