✨🌟Magic & toadstools ⭐✨

The magic of the seasons, oh' Autumnal days... You have been a pleasure... The joy of hunting for toadstools, crunching my boots through the crispy, golden leaves & that beautiful sunlight. Its starting to feel quite nippy here in Devon. We've enjoyed some lovely walks lately between school & work... We've also enjoyed some lovely festivities at local National Trust houses, Cotehele & Saltrum house... And walks on Dartmoor, Harrowbarrow & Whitchurch. And my daughter had a magical evening at the Royal theatre watching the Nutcracker... 

✨✨✨✨✨✨🌟✨✨✨✨✨✨

Some amazing sights! I'd love to know what this mushroom was, like a huge shell...? 

Always feels quite magical up on Dartmoor... 

Can you see what I see staring straight back at me?... Oh' is it a mossy pixie? 

I seem to find a pixie at every turn on our little adventures... 

Autumnal fields in Devon... 

Wonderful crunchy, golden leaves... 

Wonderful Devon sunlight... 

I explored the church at Whitchurch... Beautiful prayer cushions... All completely different. 

The Winter garland at Cotehele, National Trust House... Made from all the flowers & foliage grown on the grounds... Its absolutely spectacular... Every year is different... 

So enchantingly beautiful ✨✨🌟✨

Cosy by the great hall fire... 

Wreaths on all the medieval doorways... 

I adored this cosy festive feast painting of the great hall... I wondered if I could try painting something similar...  

We also visited Saltrum house, National Trust House & their Nutcracker christmas... 

Another truly magical late afternoon... 

Every stately room dressed to impress.... 

Wonderful carriage... 

It most definitely got me into the festive spirit... 

Thanks kindly for all the wonderful comments, 

✨✨🌟✨✨✨🌟✨✨

Good bye from me & my feathered friend,

✨🌟All the sparkle 🌟✨

My Little Market town full of sparkle✨🌕✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨

(photos from phone a little blurred) 

We watched the firework displays from the distant school field and farmers field and a few local little garden displays... Because our garden is on the hill top we get quite a view and best of all its free... I put sparklers outside in the pumpkins... ✨✨🌟✨

Me & my daughter love carving the pumpkins & putting the candles inside and watching them glow

Autumnal shelfling... ✨✨🌟✨

A shop bought soup... But added extra cheese & carrot... Love soups & crusty loafs on dark cosy eves... 

Wonderful Autumnal days when the sun came out and we enjoyed Avon mill and Totnes... Love the window displays at this time of year and all the winter berries. 

I love capturing the seasons... We have a new super duper camera & computer... Its been fun & slightly techno for me to get my head around... But trying! I haven't used the camera to take any of these pics... Just my trusty phone. Modern technology it takes me an age to get to grips with it. Suddenly I feel old... 

I found these clustered mushrooms... It was like they were sitting in a nest on an old wall... So amazing to look at. 🍄🍄🍄🍄

Hot cappuccino on cold afternoons... Weather has been a mixed bag here. 

Heavy rain then beautiful pink skies! 

I'm updating my etsy shop (misskazzystudio) New name too... So do take a look if you're interested in some of my illustration prints like this one... 

Keep cosy dear blog friends, many thanks for kind comments... ✨✨⭐✨

These Autumnal months are truly my favourite... Year on year they fill my days with joy.... I've been so busy these last weeks. But in between we've been enjoying trips out in our new car... Escaping our little market town we've been to another town set on a hill called Totnes...enjoying the outdoor foody, antique & artisan Market... Street musicians & story tellers. 

I love the arty, folky style and atmosphere. 

Views from the bridge to Totnes & the church stained glass windows. 

New woolly mittens & antique Market buys.

Beautiful Market day dahlias... 

Up on Dartmoor with the wild pony... 

Beautiful red berries against the blue sky. 

Along the river Tamar to Cotehele up through the woodland... 

Secret garden doors around Cotehele National Trust gardens... 

Its been quite a stormy wet month here in the west country... 

The old barn restaurant at Cotehele. 

Medieval bedroom in candle light 

The Great Hall and wood carvings... 

Old farmhouse across the River Tamar. 

My local market town church harvest festival stitched banners... 

Fairy & toadstools... Using watercolour & posca pens... And hedgehog, toadstools, mice & pumpkins... 

Beautiful zinnias... Foxy cards... Milky coffee on those crisp, cool Autumn mornings. 

Happy Halloween pumpkin. 🧡🎃✨🌟... We've had some lovely Dartmoor walks... Looking for toadstools... 

Scrapbooking...

Another illustration using watercolour, pencils and Pro markers, posca pens. Owl, fairy with toadstools... ✨✨🌟🍄✨

We had a magical weekending nr Boscastle visiting family in their holiday home farmhouse... The kitchen was huuuge with a wonderful red arga... And rustic big kitchen table... Perfect for catch up gatherings over coffee and Cornish deli treats. 

I explored the Autumnal gardens & the view from the staircase windows were so beautiful like an Autumnal painting. 

Wishing you all the magic & blessings of hallows eve.... ✨✨✨🍄🌟🎃🍁✨⭐
