The Eclectic Billy Lu.

2026, we've certainly been challenged here. Some very scary times, some very sad times, some very worrying times. But through it all, weve found courage, greater love, and a future that looks different to our imagining. We are so truly blessed, we have found so much joy, happiness, togetherness and fun along the way.

Many years ago (more than i care to admit, coz, well; like, you know, i didnt leave school almost 30 years ago! ) I left my life long friends at 15, for a new school, new home, new family. I didn't have a choice. But I took with me a recorder VHS tape, a mix tape and a well wishes book. Someone wrote in the book

"Life's a journey, not a destination"

I didn't even know who Aerosmith were then 🤣 - imagine! 🤪

I've quoted that line countless times, my children know it, and the truth behind it. Dont dwell on what you dont have. Be thankful for all you do. You can choose to plant different seeds, adapt and grow.

Blessed Lughnasadh.

What a ride July has been! Today its hands busy, repetitive motion and no thinking. Maybe some sleep.

Unable to have our stall at Isleham Gala this weekend, and the youngest of Billy's pack lived it up in London seeing we disappeared into the woods. Rest, recovery, re-centering, and the gift of time and space to ourselves.

You need to hear at least one of these today. ❤️ whatever your day holds, be gentle with yourself.

Sage, thyme, lavender, yarrow, mint, roses and lemon balm. All ready for drying, and making magic. What's your go to herb?

How do you keep cool? I watched Christmas films and wire wrapped this beautiful piece of sea glass from Scarborough, sitting directly in front of the fan.

I loved the meditative pattern of the frame, regular and repetitive, then guiding it round the irregular shapes of the sea worn edges. The perfectly imperfect shape reflected in the heart: a reminder that we all change and transform, and while we may not be polished and perfect, we are beautiful with a story to tell.

She's stunning 😍

This has been a journey, and im in love with her. (It's hot and the pics are not perfect 🥵🥵🥵) pretty opacity, with its milky translucent base and flashes of blues and yellows.

Solstice blessings. I stumbled upon these gorgeous pieces of Baltic amber in a local antique shop yesterday. They've sent the morning charging in the sun.

Known as the Sunshine Stone, or gold of the north: this is literally sunshine trapped in a stone. Used for clearing stagnant energies and connecting with ancestral wisdom.

Uses for it's healing qualities, to boost immunity and reduce inflammation & discomfort.

Aligning with the sacral chakra and solar plexus: it promotes letting go, and allows freer true expression.

Sandsone, an often overlooked gem. The layers of compressed sand, hardened over millions of years. A stone of creativity, grounding and truth, a tool to support uncovering your authentic self layer by layer. Teamed here with a pretty lapis lazuli: the ston of intuition, inner vision and higher consciousness: the "wisdom keeper" supporting authentic self and spiritual awareness.

Of course, all enhanced with warm copper.
