"I think it has been left alone so long-- that it has grown all into a lovely tangle. I think the roses have climbed and climbed and climbed until they hang from the branches and walls and creep over the ground-- almost like a strange gray mist. Some of them have died but many-- are alive and when the summer comes there will be curtains and fountains of roses."

Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree is a deep, rich chestnut brown, with undertones of deep red and orange to capture that beautiful warmth of glossy chestnuts. This colorway takes its name from the first line of the poem "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. My dad used to recite the first stanza of this poem as he walked around the park in my hometown, with my brother and me, on the morning of Christmas Eve. We didn't realize until we were teenagers that this little outing, to the diner for rice pudding or French onion soup, then around the park, was an excuse to get us out of the house so my mom could finish wrapping our Christmas gifts, but we looked forward to it every year. We would act embarrassed as our father climbed up on a bench, the smile in is voice echoing through the empty park, but it wasn't really Christmas until he did it.

My dad passed away in 2011, and I miss him so much, especially when my brother and I visit him at the cemetery on Christmas Eve. We still recite the first few lines of "The Village Blacksmith" as we recall those walks through the park.

Miss Honey is part of our collection inspired by Matilda by Roald Dahl. This colorway is inspired by Matilda's teacher and confidant, Miss Jennifer Honey.

'Naturally Matilda was put in the bottom class, where there were eighteen other small boys and girls about the same age as her. Their teacher was called Miss Honey, and she could not have been more than twenty-three or twenty-four. She had a lovely pale oval madonna face with blue eyes and her hair was light-brown. Her body was so slim and fragile one got the feeling that if she fell over she would smash into a thousand pieces, like a porcelain figure.

Miss Jennifer Honey was a mild and quiet person who never raised her voice and was seldom seen to smile, but there is no doubt she possessed that rare gift for being adored by every small child under her care. She seemed to understand totally the bewilderment and fear that so often overwhelms young children who for the first time in their lives are herded into a classroom and told to obey orders. Some curious warmth that was almost tangible shone out of Miss Honey’s face when she spoke to a confused and homesick newcomer to the class.'
