As promised.... the first of the stock we made for the last event we had to cancel!

Little mimics anyone? They are totally house trained to only eat the things you want to store inside them.

We've got 6 made up but the blue eye'd one here may be taken already.

Message us here for details or to grab one quick... Otherwise I'll pop them onto the etsy shop over the weekend.

Best Regards,
John & Indi

We're still here! and trying to get our online orders out as fast as we can.... it's certainly not the end to a great season 24 we'd like but Laryngitis/lost voice/cfs flare ups/mystery stomach pains/visits to A&E/lurgy be damned the show must go on...
..i'll be putting up some items not normally seen on our Etsy shop here in the next day. Clearing some of the extra stock we'd made for the last event as well as some old classics.

As ever if you have seen things in person at events and cannot see them online just message us here or Etsy (or even Insta) and we can show you what we have left!

Our best festive greetings,
Indi & John

Nope.... we couldn't make it..... Such a massive apology to Exclusively Highlands and all the lovely Inverness customers. We have had to pull out of the market this weekend at the last moment.

It's such a tough call, when this is your livelihood, to know you have to just rest to get better.... we hate it and we'd got as far as moving everything to the door to load the van before we faced the reality of both of us being too ill to proceed. One would have been able to soldier through, but both made it impossible.

Sorry everyone whom was looking forward to catching up with us again this weekend. We really are feeling bad for letting you down.

I'll try and work on getting at least some of the stock we made for this event up on the Etsy or facebook for sale before xmas.

All our love,
Indi & John

Once again, the only photo I took all weekend at Comic Con Liverpool.... a great plague doctor cosplay!

One more for the collection.

13/11/2024

Next up on our season 24 tour! The last two events of the year the fantastic Exclusively Highlands, Eden Court Christmas Craft & Food Fair in Inverness!

This is the most local thing we've done all year and the best chance (this or the later one) of catching us in the highlands, close to home.

A little different from our normal comic con's this year but come dressed up anyway...... we're going to be bringing the xmas weird as normal. :)

See you there hopefully!

Best Regards,
Indi & John

Comic Con Liverpool....... wow.....

That was something quite special. We got home at 4.30am on Monday and it's taken this long to kick ourselves back into working gear.

It's truly humbling your feedback for our little wife and husband (and Ronja + cats) business. We really spent the whole of the summer getting ready for these last 4 weeks. You guys made it all worth it.

Knackered but smiling.

Until the next time.

Best Regards,
Indi & John

LIVERPOOL WE LOVE YA... Day 1 done.

So amazing to see you all again.

Currently enjoying a Rosa's Thai and resting the legs before tomorrows carnage!

Thank you!

08/11/2024

So that's us all setup..... I'm actually too tired to do our normal "find us here" map. The 2am start is really beating me up.

Basically we are in Comic Con Liverpool - blue traders hall (i think) right in the middle.

One row back from the unmissable Skippy Hedge and the sword stall.

If you have found the wonderful Brambledown designs you are at the opposite end of the trader area from us, but in good hands....

See you tomorrow!

Making, making, making....

Mystical, Magical, Mayhem!

So much to do before the last big convention of the year for us...

The quite epic Comic Con Liverpool!

01/11/2024

Ok! Coming up thick and fast on the back of two huge shows....... one of the biggest of the year and certainly one of our favourites, Monopoly Events - Comic Con Liverpool!

Over the weekend of the 9th and 10th Nov it's gonna be amazing.

They always go that extra mile for super star guests but this time i think it could be my favourite line up ever....

I think there could be a handful of tickets left for the sunday if you are thinking about going. Certainly Saturday is a sell out.

We're currently making like crazy elves to add some extras for the Apothcary and Merlin's Grove to show you.

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Best Regards,
Indi & John

Gosh..... MCM London Comic Con .... how epic were you!

It's truly humbling to have so many of you come back to our family apothecary stall again and again over the 8 years or so we have been travelling down to london for this show.

It makes the many long months of making (we spend almost half a year preparing for each MCM) and the long drive from the Highlands of Scotland so worth it.

A massive thank you to the organisers, customers and random passing cosplayers by for picking us to trade, purchase and interact with....

Our Best Regards,
Indi & John

Best Regards,

Setting up at MCM Comic Con, find us by the tree house!

North Hall 2A3 & 2A4

Basically between the tree house, cosplay central and the start of the traders!

Its going to be busy!

22/10/2024

All quite here for the last 14 days does not mean idle paws!

We've been flat out making new magical products for the upcoming MCM London Comic Con.

So excited and honoured to be back again in the big city for such a huuuuuge event.

Van is already packed to the roof with so many new things!

A whole new shield wall (photo below), new creatures, a restocked magical library and many new potions!

I need to sleep so i'll post more tomorrow after the drive.

Best Regards,
John & Indi

Oh Edinburgh, my former home for 20 years, you did not disappoint.

Thank you to the organisers for another brilliant show and all the awesome customers whom frequented our little family run Apothecary.

Your happy faces really make all the many months of making worth it.

Until the next time.

Our best regards,
John & Indi
