The Return to Ravenbough Cider Mill ~
With crisp autumn leaves underfoot and the bewitching perfume of plush oakmoss and delicate wildflowers stirring upon the breeze, souls meander down through the Grove and stroll across the easterly meadow that follows, until coming upon a thick and luring expanse of baroque apple trees.
Though sprinkled here and there with fruits perfect for baking pies and drizzling with honey, the greater portion of this primitive orchard yields a harvest destined to become delicious and fragrant mulled cider.
The native, spiced nectar is crafted within the Ravenbough Cider Mill.
A simple, colonial structure, built alongside the apple fields, meant only to serve its purpose yet, over time, has grown and aged to cast a certain charming mystique.
It's humble machinery and handmade tools still manage quite well and those that spend their days - many years worth, for some - within the compass of the mill and it's orchard, most likely, have a few good stories to tell.
But more so, they long to see the instantaneous grins that develop upon the faces of those who made the trek for just a taste of that sweet, intoxicating elixir.

We return to Ravenbough with a gemstone rich homage.
Once again, at it's center, a beautiful antique skeleton key, surrounded by polished Smoky Quartz and rustic Citrine drops. The hand beaded chain is completed with Garnet, genuine wood and brecciated Jasper.
A most autumnal collection for sure.
The necklace measures 24" long including the lobster claw clasp.
The key measures 2-5/8" long on it's own.
