CC21.1 Squirrelled Away, A Squirrel’s Tale Cream, by Cassandra Connolly

CC21.1 Squirrelled Away, A Squirrel’s Tale Cream, by Cassandra Connolly for Lewis & Irene. It features cheeky squirrels all over with florals and berries. The squirrel’s in Cassandra’s local park provided much entertainment as well as inspiration. She wanted this range to encapsulate an autumn day with the animals playing whilst foraging for food. Her daughter actually named one of the designs ‘Hide and Squeak’ after watching the adorable animals play ‘hide and seek’ beneath the leaves.

Each design in this collection represents a part of the poem she wrote about her autumn friends. Enjoy reading about their antics…

Under dappled skies and autumn sun, dwell woodland creatures having fun. Squirrel rogues and berry thieves, play hide and seek beneath the trees. As the crisp chill settles on the breeze, the wind whips chasing dancing leaves. Yellows, reds and golden brown; twisting, twirling, tumbling down. A tireless eternal game, they momentarily set the ground aflame. Camouflaging foraged treasure, a last conserve for colder weather. On slender branches bending low, jewels of berries brightly glow. Plucked and gathered fallen fruit, mice conceal their cherished loot. Cheeky squirrels run and leap, preparing for their winters reap. Shaking boughs until they drop, gathering seeds then off they hop. A mushroom marker to hide their stash, no one to see the hidden cache, except a spikey, snuffling friend, who’s little paws will soon descend. A worthwhile way to spend the day, to find the riches squirrelled away.
