about

Jeanette Nowak, or Peanuts as she’s better known, is someone I feel lucky to have encountered. In her garden shed on the island of Yell she creates jewellery from sea glass and pottery, and baskets from local plants. Jeanette's work inspired a leading Scottish fashion brand’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection, and a dress based on her deconstructed basket graced catwalks in London, Paris and Milan. I visited Jeanette’s shed for the first time in September 2017 and was deeply moved by the positivity and creativity she shows whilst living with cancer. Jeanette’s light shines brightly.

lyrics

In wir shed o dreams it’s
Foo bricht we shine wir licht

Mair life I’m niver seen
Athin ee peerie place
As in dy shed dis hairst
An in dy sonsie face
"Jeanette Nowak shö bides
In Nort-a-Voe” dey’d tell
On axin fir Peanuts
Whan stravaigin trowe Yell

Sun ida window
An in dy glansin een
A coose o creations
Da rarest I hed seen
Beetroot laeves lay dryin
Firnenst sea gless an lem
Hingin bowes an baskets
Skoitin neest a ring

Dy seaborne proil sat prunk
In reason an in rhyme
Frida Kahlo chaise longue
A place for tinkin time
Fashion lasses fun dee
Here in dy lichtsome state
Reddin up afore dem
Aboot ta change dy gaet

A basket clippit up
Balled doon apo da flör
Dichted an laid up noo
Wis art, no bruck, no more
Wid du tak a hunder?
Dy babe wis no for sale
So dey med a froak for
Der London fashion rail

A blink o city life
Wis dine for joost a start
But hame wis shön pooin
At treeds aboot dy heart
For du kens mair as maist
Whit is really wirt wir might
In wir shed o dreams it’s
Foo bricht we shine wir licht

In wir shed o dreams it’s
Foo bricht we shine wir licht
