As you may already be aware, Rusty Nail and her friends, Springaling and the other tools, were very happy in their beach hut home in Clifftop Bay. Then, one dreadful day, they were evicted and sent off in an old fishing basket to the local auction, to be sold off to the highest bidder! Holly Bush Cottage relates the next chapter in their lives as they find themselves living beneath the holly bush in Mr Jim Sniff's garden. As always, they face many challenges and dangers, but they are resilient and resourceful, and by sticking together, always seem to manage to turn adversities to their advantage. A new member of the team arrives as Miss Tongtong, an old pair of French hair curling tongs, emerges from beneath the brass fishing reels and joins the friends as they make their escape. However, sadly, not everyone makes it, and one of their dear friends is lost, and is much missed, particularly by Young Pinion.

These little characters have much to teach children, and adults, for that matter, about how to live and work together, buffeted as they are by events beyond their control.
