One of Orkney’s most well-liked contemporary jewelry themes is the Happy Valley collection. This calls forth the rural themes cherished by the majority of the great British ceramic makers in the 1920s and 1930s. In Orkney, Happy Valley is actually a remote glen full of flowers, trees and scrubs, that has been maintained over many years by a lone crofter.
The crofter, the late Edwin Harrold, lived in a really plain and simple little home without having a source of electricity or mains water. It was sheltered from the stormy weather below a hillside in a tiny glen. He lovingly created a small eden which blooms with bluebells and many other woodland flowers and waterside plants by a tumbling creek.
His landscape gardening experience produced the addition of stone objects and path ways. This secret gem, now a certified nature reserve, is still visited by lots of Orkney citizens and travellers who find out about the almost secret garden. The spot is much loved as woods and protection like that are hard to find in these islands.
Stunning Handmade Earrings in 2 Styles
Since Edwin Harrold passed away in 2005, his small croft has been little-by-little decaying. The chimneys and roof are currently in danger of collapsing. Yesterday the good news was published that a grant has been made available to the Friends of Happy Valley through the Scapa Flow Landscape Partnership Scheme so the cottage may be conserved. The idea is to make the premises structurally solid - wind and leak-proof - rather than repair it and remove some of its main features.
Archaeologists are already piecing together the several stages of the small home. A second project will document the oral history of Happy Valley by taking down the stories and recollections of residents. The Friends have also planted a good many more trees since Mr Harrold’s death and are assembling an overview for the complete site.
The Happy Valley jewellery theme has become a firm favored with our www.olagoriejewellery.com jewelry designers over many years.
