 We’ve been meaning to go to Heksmoar for some time, but haven’t had the chance. It was a sunny Saturday – we went to the Bu at Orphir for a short walk and butties on the beach….

Mooching About At The Bu

Then on to Heksmoar in nearby Stenness parish….

 Mike settled down in a corner full of good things…

while I roamed about the shop, chatting with Ann and being tempted.  I’ll simply post pics and descriptions – I do strongly advise going to see for yourself.

 Wands – ‘yer actual wands – no need to go to Ollivander’s – just go to Ann’s!

Hand-made handfasting cords for those with marriage in mind

Use it for whatever you choose – or place it somewhere to be admired

Everyone loves a Green Man

And…well…I couldn’t resist

 We were looking for a clock as our Dining-room clock gave up the ghost months ago, and we found just the right one – a Tree of Life clock – hand-made by a friend of Ann’s.  It went straight on the wall when we got home

Mike is good at dowsing and, up to now, has used a contraption made from empty biro cases and bits of coat-hanger – which have served their purpose well.  Seeing these beauties in Heksmoar, he treated himself

And, in my den – for my cuppa – a slate coaster with triple spiral

 We don’t often go out and spend like that – but – now and then – why not?

 Ann also sells stellar socks and dried herbs for brewing up potions – medicinal or otherwise!
