'What's in the box?'.....

Around the corner comes.......

Sambucus Spearwort, the proprietor of The Wizard and Wands Bookstore

Sambucus has come down from Oberons Wood

Where I'm told that....
'Sambucus has been entertaning the children of the Hollow again with his outrageous prophecies. He likes to make most of them up, just for the reaction he gets.

As with most elderly wizards, he loves to tease the young, after all, where's the fun in being old if you can't enjoy yourself, eh

This makes him a popular wizard with the children of the village, who simply adore him.

Sambucus is rather partial to sponge cake, any flavour, as it's the texture he likes most of all.
He is also fond of trifle.
He is hoping to receive both at his birthday party next week.

He predicts it will be violet cake!

 Sambucus Spearwort does stoop a little, but he is an elderly gentleman.'

Now he is home..... and Sambucus can't wait to see his beloved Aunt Agatha, whom he has a soft spot for, but won't actually admit too!

Sambucus also has a tale to tell the little witch whom Aunt Agatha has been reading too. I'm sure more witch and wizard children will join the reading group now that Sambucus is there!

Now it's time for Sambucus to take all his papers and books through the secret doorway and upto his attic room.

The magical miniatures Sambucus brought with him from the Hollow

Look, sambucus has even popped his name inside his favourite book, just in case his dear friend Wizard Polemonium picks it up and pops it on the shelf in the bookstore!



 

Although, for now, Wizard Polemonium is still entertaining everyone back at the hollow but he will be joining Sambucus soon.

 

So now you know who was in the box ;0) I hope you love him as much as I do, he is absolutely fabalous. Ceila at Oberonswood has some wonderful minis listed in her Etsy store and on her Website. You can also visit her blog and just to give you a little taste of the delights you will find, here are some pics that Celia kindly said I could use :0)

Finally...

To everyone going to Miniatura this weekend, Have a wonderful time, I wish I could there be too, please take heaps of pics for me to drool over!!!

Now I'm off to curl up on the sofa and finish my little shed ;0)
