Fairysteps Diary

Fairysteps boot listings, as well as bags were open for a short time, but are now closed - I will be continuing with the small mountain of in-progress stock on my work tables, alongside these latest orders. Many thanks for everyone who ordered, and apologies if you missed your chance :/ hopefully Lady Fate will make the perfect stock pair pop up for you soon.

As always, subject to availability my dears as made to order rarely opens these days.

Find them in the Footwear collection next month - Ive been ruthlessly pruning and have updated the collections accordingly.

At last I am busy cutting boots. I know its June and summer, but Fairysteps are only made slowly, by me, here in the woods - so I need several months to get stock ready for autumn. 

Initially I am using a few limited edition colours in select hides which are robust and supple, perfectly suited to bootmaking. These will all be one-of-a-kind and won't be repeated. 

Cobweb will feature first as it is such a versatile height. Frond to follow.

My collections in the shop have been whittled down to far less styles than before with many being moved to the studio archive at discounted prices. Most of those products are retiring and won't be made in the future. Its taken 25 years but I am finally focusing on just a few. Stock batches will shift between boots, shoes and bags.

If everyone finds it useful I might continue with the diary, with latest stock updates shown on instagram.

After taking a few pictures of the giant honeysuckles on the way back from the Fairysteps studio I settled into cooking tea, looked up from my chopping board and saw this cheeky mister! Obviously decided it was his tea time too. The forest garden is a no deer zone to try to protect some of the special plants growing there so I wasn't best pleased. Although, I have to say they are beautiful creatures.

Note to check fence...

But moving on from TNTs (Tree Nibbling Terrors) and back to the honeysuckles. Wish you could smell these. They must be 40 or fifty feet up, spectacular in every way.

I love the woods. Its an honour to live among them.
