One year ago, the doors of our Enchanted Forest opened for the very first time.

Every enchanted forest has its wizard.

Step through the door of The Enchanted Forest, and you’ll quickly discover that this is no ordinary shop. Tucked amongst the shelves and displays are little worlds of imagination - places where mermaids gather in hidden coves, witches reach through enchanted mirrors, fairies make their homes inside ancient trees, and Alice tumbles endlessly through time.

There’s something truly special about gathering around a table, getting your hands a little messy, and creating something with intention and imagination. This month, In The Enchanted Forest is alive with creativity, and we’re thrilled to be offering a full calendar of workshops for all ages and skill levels.

December 2025 was a truly unforgettable month In The Enchanted Forest. Filled with creativity, festive magic, community connection, and a few unexpected challenges that only added to the story.

One of our favourite parts of Halloween In The Enchanted Forest is the creativity it sparks. Our forest workshop was buzzing with imagination as crafters of all ages joined us to make their own spooky, whimsical treasures.

Halloween has always held a special kind of enchantment for each of us here In The Enchanted Forest. A season where whimsy meets mystery, pumpkins glow with personality, and the veil between the ordinary and the magical feels just a little thinner.

Our Wonderland Workshop is the perfect space for birthdays, creative get-togethers, and celebrations of all kinds! Last weekend, we were delighted to host a beautiful group of young ladies (and one gentleman) who each created their own medium-sized terrarium to mark a special birthday. The tables were filled with laughter, creativity, and a touch of forest magic as everyone brought their miniature worlds to life.

This week, In The Enchanted Forest joined the Love Street Local event hosted by the City of Belmont -  a celebration of creativity, connection, and community spirit. We opened our doors to locals of all ages and invited them to take part in a free craft activity: painting their very own bee bath! From children carefully choosing their colours to adults embracing their inner artist, the shop buzzed with laughter, chatter, and imagination. It was wonderful to see families, teens, and even a few seasoned crafters enjoying the simple joy of creating something beautiful together. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, and helped make the day so special. We loved sharing a little of The Enchanted Forest magic with our community - and giving the bees something beautiful, too.

After weeks of painting, decorating, and arranging every magical shelf, In The Enchanted Forest officially opened its doors on the 1st April 2025! In the days leading up to the launch, the shop buzzed with creative chaos as we painted, hung twinkling lights, stocked the shelves with treasures, and brought our shared vision to life. When the big day arrived, we welcomed friends, family, and supporters into our newly transformed space for an evening filled with laughter, joy, and music — highlighted by a live saxophone performance from Anita’s talented son, Josh. It was a night to remember, marking not just the opening of a shop, but the beginning of a shared dream between three passionate makers. Thank you to everyone who helped bring the magic to life - and to those who continue to wander with us through The Enchanted Forest.
