Door wide open, come on in!


Today has been the first day of the Perthshire Open Studios event. People have been dropping in throughout the day, all interested in what we do here, my sewing, the chickens and just country life in general. The eggs that I had for sale sold very quickly! Everyone was fairly local and enjoying the opportunity to see lots of artists at work and have a nosy in their studios and workrooms. Many commented on the fact that they didn't know of all this rich talent within the area and that it was a great chance for them to find places to bring visitors and friends, so fingers crossed they all come back!
I spent yesterday having a bit of a blitz in the workroom and tidying up the shop. I've got some lovely new vintage finds for sale now, I'll show you pictures later in the week. The pictures show our new candles that I'm trialing. Gorgous reusable pots made by Diana up at Glenshee pottery, filled with Elderflower and Wild Nettle candle. I have to say I'm really rather please as the scent is just delicious.
Off to have supper and then sit in front of the fire and do a bit of sewing.
Enjoy your Saturday evening.

As usual it all looks wonderful, but I love what you've achieved with your lovely new working space. I have a personal soft spot for a red/white red/cream theme, and those seem to be your colours too, it looks lovely.

I hope you get plenty of repeat custom and lots of new visitors :)
