🌹NEWS FROM WILDFLOWER HOLLOW 🌹
Something rather exciting has happened at the Hollow…
Dear Wanderer,
The gates of Wildflower Hollow have been particularly busy lately.
Donna has unpacked her bags.
Beady Eyes has appointed himself supervisor of practically everything.
And somehow — between mysterious old rooms, overgrown gardens and one extremely unfortunate incident involving orange marmalade — we have created something new.
✨ An Enchanted Shopping Experience has arrived at Wildflower Hollow. ✨
👗 Donna Has Been Shopping…
Well.
Perhaps shopping isn't quite the right word.
Let's call it research.
Donna may have abandoned her high-profile city career, her immaculate apartment and a life where everything was perfectly organised…
…but apparently she had absolutely no intention of abandoning beautiful clothes.
And we're rather relieved about that.
You can now wander through Wildflower Hollow and discover Donna's Finds and Get Donna's Look — beautiful fashion, home, kitchen, garden and other curious treasures inspired by the world of the Hollow.
See something you love?
Follow the links and discover where we found it.
Beady Eyes has requested that we make it perfectly clear that he accepts no responsibility whatsoever for your shopping habits.
Which is interesting, considering he appears whenever a parcel arrives.

🌿 BUT HOW DID DONNA GET HERE?
That's a rather longer story.
Not very long ago, Donna lived an entirely different life.
She was a successful, high-profile city advocate.
Beautiful apartment.
Beautiful clothes.
Important career.
Everything exactly where it belonged.
Until one case changed everything.
Donna walked away.
From the career.
From the city.
From the woman she had spent years becoming.
And she drove to a place she'd inherited from her Aunt Margery…
Wildflower Hollow.

She thought she was coming here to disappear for a while.
Wildflower Hollow, however, seems to have had other plans.
🍊 THE GREAT MARMALADE DISASTER
After discovering Aunt Margery's pantry filled with old preserves, handwritten recipes and jars from another time, Donna had a thought.
A dangerous thought.
“How difficult can making marmalade possibly be?”
Those words should never be spoken aloud.
Particularly by a woman whose city kitchen had previously existed mainly for decorative purposes.
Donna put the oranges on the stove.
Then she wandered off.
The library was interesting.
The books were fascinating.
The smell drifting through the house was—
Wait.
THE STOVE.
By the time Beady Eyes raised the alarm, Aunt Margery's poor pot contained something that could probably have been submitted to a laboratory for further investigation.
The kitchen disappeared beneath a cloud of smoke.
Donna opened every window.
And Beady Eyes sat nearby looking deeply disappointed in the human race.
🐦⬛ “I leave you alone for five minutes, child…”
Fortunately, Donna is stubborn.
Batch number two was magnificent.
The pantry once again contains orange marmalade.
The pot, however, may never emotionally recover.

🌹 AND THEN THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE…
Donna came to Wildflower Hollow because she wanted peace.
And for the first time in a very long while, she is beginning to find it.
She spends hours in the garden.
She explores Aunt Margery's strange old house.
She reads.
She cooks — under considerably closer supervision now.
And occasionally she catches herself smiling.
But lately…
Donna has begun to notice something.
A movement beyond the trees.
A shadow where there shouldn't be one.
Sometimes, while walking through the garden, she has the unmistakable sensation that she is being watched.
Not by Beady Eyes.
She knows when he's spying on her.
This is different.
Ancient, somehow.
Familiar.
And last night…
something moved beyond the mist.
Donna stopped walking.
The garden became strangely quiet.
Even Beady Eyes said nothing.
Donna stared toward the trees.
There was nothing there.
At least…
nothing she could see.
🐦⬛
We'll leave that story for another day.
✨ WHILE YOU'RE WANDERING…
Come explore Wildflower Hollow.
Discover Donna's Finds and Get Donna's Look, wander through our stories, watch the latest videos and don't forget to visit the FREE DOWNLOADS waiting for you at the Hollow.
There is always something new appearing around here.
Sometimes it's a recipe.
Sometimes it's a beautiful dress.
Sometimes it's an old secret.
And sometimes…
it's probably better not to ask.
🌹 Until next time, Wanderer.
Keep watching the trees.
Expect Magic.
— J. S. Marlowe
and Beady Eyes, who insists his name should have appeared first. 🐦⬛
