About Copse and Spinney:
The name Copse and Spinney came to me when I heard my six year old reading from “The House at Pooh Corner”. His voice sounded so sweet and pure as he read:
“Through copse and spinney marched Bear; down open slopes of gorse and heather, over rocky beds of streams, up steep banks of sandstone into the heather again; and so at last, tired and hungry, to the Hundred Acre Wood. For it was in the Hundred Acre Wood that Owl lived.”
A copse—meaning a little group of trees—and a spinney—meaning small bushes—are often seen together as “trees and bushes.” As we traveled by car, we often noticed small copses and spinneys along the way, repeating the phrase playfully in our best pretend English accents. Eventually, the name just stuck.
I started a mom blog years ago when my kids were small, while teaching music lessons after school. In 2018, Copse and Spinney Gifts, my first Etsy shop was born from a desire to make something beautiful with my hands that brings the beauty of nature to the home. In 2022, I expanded my small business by opening a second shop specializing in romantic-style vintage and natural fiber clothing: Natural Posh Vintage.
Having a small business has been a wonderful learning journey. Life is full of opportunities to explore all the different creative sides of ourselves. As a musician, songwriter, and college student, running my own shops gives me the creative freedom to pursue my art while strengthening my skill sets along the way.
I welcome you here and hope that I will meet many kindred folk along the way. I like to explore libraries, collect old books, take walks out in nature, watch the bunnies and birds. My hope is that you will find a haven in these “woods”, enjoy the stories, take time to and refresh your soul! . Below are some of my other links.
Thanks for stopping by.
