Fossil Fun Frolics!


Any one who knows me, or has been for a stroll around my folksy shop, will know that I am a bit of a fossil fiend, something to do with my grey cells being fossilised no doubt!

I find it fascinating that ammonites can still be discovered, when they are in fact over 180 Million years old! That is just staggering! And I feel that owning, or giving a fossil is almost like a good luck and longevity charm! Soppy maybe, but still a beautiful thing to own, be they in their natural state, or polished up into amazing display pieces or jewellery items.

A adore fossils in all their varieties and so do the wonderful Folk and Folksy!
I ‘dug’ around in lots of peoples shops, ‘chipping’ away at the categories of ‘unearth’ fossil finds from jewellery to notebooks. Sorry awful play on words!

  7. I love fossils too. I used to go fossil hunting down in folkestone when I was little with my Dad, so when M&D came down here to visit recently we popped over to Barton-on-sea for a bit of a nostalgic hunt. Picked up some great fossilised shells. I'm thinking of setting them in resin and making pendants.
    Great fossily finds. I especially love Tree Gem's Sycamore Sketchbook
