Craft fair & gallery prep tonight. Catch these at ‘Coastal Artisans’ Craft Fair on Saturday in the Cutty Sark, Ayr , or The Smiddy Gallery in Culzean Castle & Country Park in the Home Farm Courtyard, most days . See you soon!

New range of handmade ‘Winter Flowers’ 3D cards - here are the first two examples . Quality embellishments with little jewels added for some glamour- a little bit different to shop bought greetings cards.
Some will be available at forthcoming craft fairs.

Here is a list of Autumn & Winter craft fairs we have lined up for the next few months. Hope some of you can make some dates in your diaries.

Next craft fair - back to join ‘Coastal Artisans’ in The Cutty Sark, High Street, Ayr next Saturday 5th October. Free entry with a great choice of crafters, artists & jewellers. Farmers’ Market outside, craft fair indoors. Join us there!

Stage 2 of my new oil painting today. It’s starting to look like a scene now but still a long way to go!
Have you worked out where the view is taken from yet? More to follow…😊

Small beginnings today of a new oil painting. Local folk will guess at once where it is, but do you know where the view is from? I have a feeling someone I know will instantly recognise the angle.
This is something I’ve been trying to do for a while now- the sun is shining so that helps!

Finalising Autumn & Winter craft fairs at the moment. These I’ll share with you very soon - so exciting!😊

A few handmade occasion cards for the upcoming autumn markets. Wedding, new baby, new home & anniversaries, with more to follow. See you all soon!

**SOLD** today at the Smiddy Gallery, Culzean Castle & Country Park. The gallery had a busy day with happy folks enjoying the sunshine.

‘Summer Meadow’ - one other framed print, canvas print & mounted prints available.

Display refreshed today at The Smiddy Gallery in Culzean. Sunny day brought lots of visitors who were enjoying the ambiance of our stunning setting. Pop in and see us soon!

Part of my view on my way into The Smiddy Gallery in Culzean Castle & Country Park - on Saturday I’m the artist on duty in the gallery and look forward to welcoming any visitors! Please pop in and see some very exciting and new pieces by our artists. We also have a range of affordable gifts & crafts. We are open from11am until 4pm every day except a Tuesday. Always a warm welcome awaits you!

Framed print of ‘Calm’ picked up today & also new little framed print of ‘Thistles’ , both heading to The Smiddy Gallery, in time for the weekend. Keep following our page to find out more new additions from all our artists x

A few new handmade cards to add to the collection - there seems to be many weddings at the moment & baby girls. These are ready for the next craft fair, or before.

Restock today at Humeston Byre Farm Shop. I also treated us to a milk refill, fresh meat & a cake - it would be rude not to! Check out this fabulous farm shop.

Another restock at Bay Wool & Crafts, Whiting Bay, Arran this week. This gem of a shop has been very successful all season with an array of quality gifts, keepsakes & local artwork, in addition to a great selection of wool and handknits. Pop in if you’re on a visit.

Handmade activity happening this week to replenish stock of wedding, anniversary & new baby cards. After the success of two recent craft fairs, the need for more stock is urgent. Will post photos when completed!

Thank you to all customers who visited my stall yesterday The Scottish Arts & Crafts Fair at Geilsland Country Estate. Always such a buzz to take part in such a busy event with other artists & crafters!

All set up and ready to go! Scottish Arts & Crafts Fair at Geilsland Country Estate - come visit!

Tomorrow folks! The Scottish Arts & Crafts Fair at Geilsland Country Estate, Beith - from 11am - 4pm.
