🌙 The Apothecary Advent 🌙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After much debating with myself, it’s official, I’m signing up for another Christmas Advent for 2026, perhaps even my last one -
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the Studio Ghibli advent having been such a success, and the huge amount of orders coming to a close in the next few weeks, I will have a lot more time on my hands to be able to take on a project for the end of the year, which this time won’t be pushed aside until the last minute because of overextending myself 🙂‍↕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which means I am super excited to announce a theme I’ve been coveting for several years, a white whitch herbalist’s favorite.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Limited pre-orders going live on 29.03, more info to come soon 🤩🌙🥀

Studio Ghibli Advent Calendar: Day 25
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Spirit of Ghibli
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This colourway is an homage to the shared soul that runs through every Studio Ghibli film. The quiet magic found in landscapes, skies, architecture, and the gentle spaces between moments.
Pastel pistachio greens, lavender, soft blues, and sun-washed yellows melt into one another, echoing the hand-painted backgrounds Ghibli is so beloved for: rolling flower fields, moss-covered paths, glowing skies, and villages bathed in soft light.
Overlays of aqua and mint reflect rivers, wind, and open skies, while fine rusty brown speckles ground the palette — a nod to earth, timber, rooftops, and the lived-in warmth of Ghibli’s worlds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These colours aren’t tied to one story, but to all of them. The way nature and architecture are always lovingly illustrated, surrounding each character with beauty, calm, and wonder.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Spirit of Ghibli is a celebration of those quiet landscapes, those endless fields of flowers, and the feeling of stepping into a world where softness and imagination exist side by side, like in a watercolour dream. 🌱🌸

Studio Ghibli Advent Calendar: Day 24
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spirited Away
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is time for our last mini and movie from this series, and I’m sure one of the most awaited ones!
Soft aquas and gentle mints echo the bathhouse steam and river spirit, while deep navy and inky aubergine reflect the quiet night scenes, shadowed corridors, and the mystery of the spirit world.
Warm flashes of peach and brick red are drawn from lantern light, Chihiro’s clothing, and the rich reds of the bathhouse itself. Together, these colours mirror the film’s balance of softness and darkness, innocence and strength.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Released in 2001, Spirited Away won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (the first hand-drawn anime to do so) and has won the hearts of many, securing itself as one of the most iconic and reknown film from the production company.

Studio Ghibli Advent Calendar: Day 23

Kiki’s Delivery Service
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soft peach skies at sunrise, vivid pops of red, and inky navy blues leaning into aubergine, this colourway is a love letter to Kiki’s and its quietly powerful palette.
The warm peach tones echo the gentle European seaside town and its sunlit rooftops, while the deep reds honour Kiki’s iconic dress and bow. The grounding navy and aubergine shades reflect the night skies, the weight of independence, and the moments of doubt that shape Kiki’s journey as she learns to trust herself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Released in 1989, Kiki’s Delivery Service marked a turning point for Studio Ghibli, becoming one of its first major commercial successes in Japan. Inspired by Eiko Kadono’s novel, the film is celebrated for its European-inspired settings, hand-painted skies, and its heartfelt portrayal of creativity, burnout, and growing up. Kiki’s story reminds us that magic isn’t just about flying—it’s about finding balance, purpose, and confidence in who you are.
