POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I organised a Sunday afternoon family trip to an amazing beginners Lino cut workshop with @abigail_sg_smith in Portobello yesterday as part of @support_the_makers - Esme ended up having a hockey tournament so couldn’t come so i pulled in my wonderful godson and off we went. Such a lovely afternoon. The single swan on our beachfront earlier this week (look back a couple of posts) was my inspiration and you can imagine what Malcolm chose! Mungo’s life long love of kingfishers seems to remain. It was a really peaceful and satisfying couple of hours before my car broke down later in the evening and i returned to panic and chaos! Luckily i managed to think quick and queue for a couple of hours late last night to get a hire car so i can now go and pack some lovely things and head down to @presentsgalore.kelso that is on later today and tomorrow! If you live in the Borders do come and say hello. ❤️

Thanks to everyone who came and supported my small business by being interested in my products, taking a business card or making a purchase. It is much appreciated and enables me to continue doing what I love.
.
Thanks to Mel at @urbanmarketedinburgh and Carmen and her team at @support_the_makers for organising and giving me the opportunity to be a vendor.
.
It was lovely to meet new traders including Cat @enbean_art, @andsoitis_upcycled and Alastair of @balgove and to see @mattblackjewellery @_waffleandpeg_ @anxiouslittlemonsters @oldmangrey @weejoysuk again.
.
It was a delight to buy funky orange earrings from @hayfi.design, a beautiful paper bauble from @abigail_sg_smith and gorgeous cakes from @piecesocake
