'The Magic We Hold' Velvet Heart Cushion

Europe has an ancient history steeped in magic, folklore and pagan tradition, still celebrated to this day. We are based in the UK, and there isn't a single corner of these isles that haven't been shaped in some way by the stories and traditions of our ancestors. In our country town of Bridport, women gather on our iconic Colmer's Hill on a full moon to dance and sing. Locals frighten bad spirits away from the apple trees in our community orchard by singing traditional folk songs loudly and banging pots and pans. We celebrate the equinoxes and solstices and there are still many who follow the Celtic festivals of Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain. It's important to celebrate these ancient roots and remember the magic and wisdom of our Celtic ancestors. 

This design is a celebration of that ancient magic and wisdom we still hold in our hearts. A dreamy decorative scatter cushion, in soft midnight blue velvet, adorned with shimmering zari embroidery and tiny mirrors. 

This piece was designed by Jennifer Christie and embroidered by talented artisans in Jaipur.
