And this morning the Shed is an old Victorian wardrobe; filled with the ghosts of moth-shredded silks, and velvet coats, and ostrich-plumed hats, and evening gowns of bombazine and organdie...

Are you going to take this opportunity to promote your books at the Narnia Book Festival? 😊

I sense shoes… velvet shoes and maybe, just maybe, a velveteen rabbit amongst them

You paint such a good picture here. I can almost smell the mothballs!

I've always liked moths and never seen them make holes in things until we recently moved house and moved the bed and the woollen carpet underneath was literally shredded, with little tiny chrysalis shells around the holes!

I had one of these in my first student room although it was empty when I arrived - I tried finding a way through the back but to no avail.

Does it have a secret passageway to a magical land? 👀

This makes me want to curl into a tiny ball and hide between those velvet coats and evening gowns unseen, listening to the grown-ups whispering outside. I adore your shed posts Joanne. One of the joys of hopping over to Blue Sky has been seeing them again. Many thanks 💛

Never had the faintest idea what organdie was, but just googled and is still a *thing*
