That’s ONE Crooked Hen!

“When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laughter broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies – Peter Pan”

If the author of the enchanting tale of Peter Pan is to be believed then Sir James Matthew Barrie will not doubt be reassured to discover that there is still at least one faerie that can be found skipping about within the stone walls that surround the ancient City of York, although at first glance, she may be mistaken for just another conventional human; appearances can be deceptive..

Welcome to the world of the Crooked Hen!

Toil and Trouble!

As the Sun Goes Down...

They say that a spoonful of something sweet will help the medicine go down - but how about a spoonful of ‘Lazy Trout’s Procrastination’? For on offer and measuring just 2.5 cm is a miniature glass vial of this unique potion now available at the Crooked Hen Gift Shop on Etsy. Now, could this be just the thing to nudge you along to get those chores finished? If it works be sure to let me know... #CrookedHen #MiniMagick #AllHallowsHamlet

It may be February but if your wallet is still feeling the financial pinch from our December festivities - you COULD be in need of a monetary tonic. However, trust me when I say that this is ONE potion you REALLY need to stay away from! BUT if you’re feeling brave - the doors of our Etsy Shop are open for business! #CrookedHen #MiniMagick #AllHallowsHamlet

Happy New Year! Bonne Année! Frohes Neues Jahr! Buon Anno! If like me you have stuffed yourself silly over Christmas with mince pies, chocolate, cake - you may be feeling a little fragile BUT if you are in need of a little ‘pick me up’ then a spoonful of ‘His Lordship’s Indigestion’ tonic is NOT really what you need! However, if you are feeling brave, there is still all manner of notion and potion to sample in the Hen’s Etsy store! #CrookedHen #MiniMagick #AllHallowsHamlet #ThankfulTuesday

"Kindness in like snow - it beautifies everything it covers." ~ Kahlil Gibran Thank YOU all for your kindness this year; it has been MUCH appreciated! With every blessing for you and your loved ones this Christmastide. #CrookedHen #MinMagick #AllHallowsHamlet #LittleBigCat #SoLittleBigCat

For those troubled by the unwelcome attention of a vampyre - a large bottle of Holy Water and crucifix has long been the popular way in myth and folklore to banish the fiend BUT did you know that silver can just be as effective? As silver has been traditionally considered to be a precious metal offering protection against the forces of evil - this little vial from the shelves of the 'Monsignor Suárez Vampyre Slayer Emporium' in the All Hallows Hamlet is THE 'must-have'... With a pinch of 'Silver' suspended in resin, labelled in parchment and finished with cloth paper tied with silver wire - this little vial will add a perfect finishing touch to YOUR fantastical miniature world... OR could YOU discover another use for it? From Dusk ‘Til Dawn! The Crooked Hen Gift Shop on Etsy is NOW open! #CrookedHen #MiniMagick #AllHallowsHamlet #MagickMonday

"When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween." ~ Anon Sadly, there is no fabulous frock to wear or a sumptuous banquet to enjoy for Claire Eno this All Hallows Eve as this reclusive and unfriendly crone is busy pottering about and cooking up some rather unusual elixr from inside the Harum Scarum Emporium which is carefully shielded by the prickliest thorn bushes and whispering trees in this bleakest part of the hamlet. 'Cause It's Witchcraft, Unkind Witchcraft Follow the Tale! #CrookedHen #MiniMagick #AllHallowsHamlet #AllHallowsEve

'Double, Double, Toil & Trouble. Fire Burn & Cauldron Bubble.' ~ Shakespeare. On this All Hallows Eve, the folk from the All Hallows Hamlet are excitedly polishing shoes and dusting their finest hats as they dress to impress - however, NOT everyone is getting into the party spirit! #CrookedHen #MiniMagick #AllHallowsHamlet #AllHallowsEve
