Completely overwhelmed to say the least! I haven’t told dad yet, there’s going to be tears!!!! Rose & Thistle Markets Kelly and Susan have been so supportive always ready with a hug and reassurance throughout the past year. Blown away by your generosity to round up the figure to £1000 for MND Scotland, thank you so much 😘

This month we want to say an extra big thank you to all who donated and helped raised funds for our monthly charity MND Scotland. You all helped SuzyBloom raise £830 in memory of her lovely Mum. As part of our commitment to donate all profits to charity, and support our local community, we will round the total going to MND up to £1,000.

Paula’s beautiful work ❤️

This is the last meet the maker post before our next makers market on the June the 8th. While PJ Topley ART is last, she is by no means least. Her original art work is a firm favourite with not only visitors, but also the other makers. Everyone should have at least one of her pieces.

"Paula is based in Cupar, creating art inspired by what pops up in the garden and what’s about in the beautiful Scottish countryside. Making a connection through her art with you is pure magic and what it’s all about. Her work is available through the Rose & Thistle Makers Markets, Fayre Earth Gift Shop in Falkland, Etsy, Folksy and direct. Commissions welcome."

Some of the prizes that can be won on Saturday, Mulberry make-up bag, Radley bags, all with care bags. These are not brand new but they have never been used! Jo Malone candle. Lots of other stunning prizes kindly gifted by my fabulous family, dad’s wonderful neighbours and some special friends 🥰❤️ #💙💛💙

We hope you are all enjoying a sunny Saturday whatever you are up to. Next Saturday remember to come and see us in St. Andrews Town Hall, where you will find 48 artists, makers and bakers including the very talented Martine's Ceramics

‘I am a ceramic artist based in Kirkcaldy, Fife with a little studio in my garden where I create lots of fun creatures from clay. Most of my work is fired outside in a Raku kiln to around 950°C. While they are still glowing hot, they are placed in a bucket with wood shavings. The lid goes on and this is when the magic happens, when wonderful effects are created. The process of Raku makes every ghost, gnome, sheep or mouse completely different. What comes out the kiln is always a surprise. I love it 🧡’

This Saturday I’m running two stalls in memory of my wonderful mum. Raising money for MND Scotland 💙💛💙 please come and say hi, have a go on the tombola for £2 so many fabulous prizes. Thank you to those who have kindly donated already, it really does mean so much to the MND community # # #

We love all of our charities, but this month's charity if especially close to all of our hearts. All of our regulars will know SuzyBloom with her stunning florals and some will have met her lovely Mum. This month Suzy will be raising funds for MND Scotland in her Mum's memory. She will have amazing raffle prizes so please pop along and lend your support.

"At the next Rose & Thistle Market we will be raising money for MND Scotland. Many of you knew my lovely mum who used to thoroughly enjoy coming to the market with me. She loved the ‘vibe’ she loved the stalls, the stallholders. She LOVED this market 🥰 I have some incredible items for our tombola. From never used Radley bags to fabulous bottles of whiskey and some wonderful candles. Photos of the items to follow.
MND is an incredibly cruel disease and was an unbearable diagnosis which my beautiful mum bravely bared. There are no ‘silver linings’ with such a diagnosis but mum found one, she said she was lucky to be diagnosed at 79 and not 49. The support that MND Scotland offer the whole family spurs you on to continue to support them back. I hope you can support us on the 8th of June.
Thanks,
Suzy

😍 I love Suziblues work, so beautiful xx

We are renaming the days of the week and making today Treat Yourself Thursday, we've nearly made it to the weekend after all. Suzibluejewellery has just the thing to make you smile and feel a thousand dollars (without having to spend a thousand dollars), make sure to stop by her stall at the June 8th market.

"I am a jeweller who designs and makes every piece to a high standard within my garden studio in fife. I have a degree in jewellery and silversmithing with over 40 yrs worth of experience.
All of my pieces of jewellery are hand made and unique including hand crocheted silver wire necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. I crochet silver wire to any length you require, the longer the length the more versatile. You can wrap a longer length around twice to achieve a double layer necklace or tie a knot in it at the base for a longer pendant look.
My inspiration starts in a sketchbook, drawing, sketching and playing with shape, pattern and texture, this inspires some experimenting at the bench and the final production of the piece using the best suited materials. I work with silver, gold and platinum, combining them with a range of semi precious stones and freshwater pearls(I’m addicted to them)
I also undertake commission work, redesigning old pieces of jewellery or creating a unique piece to your designs and ideas.
If a piece of jewellery doesn’t fit I am very happy to resize accordingly.
Having taught for 35 years I also offer one to one classes in my garden studio, tailored to your requirements."

At our May makers market our charity of the month will be Friends of Craigtoun Park. We hope that you join us in supporting the great work that they do to keep Craigtoun Park open, beautiful and accessible to us all.

"Friends of Craigtoun is a registered charity that was formed in 2012 in order to save Craigtoun Country Park from imminent closure by Fife Council. For the past 12 years, the Friends have run the seasonal attractions and events in the park, as well as being involved in numerous maintenance and upgrade projects. Every penny raised in the park goes towards helping the Friends in their mission to secure the future of Craigtoun Country Park as a 4 star visitor attraction for the people of St Andrews, Fife and visitors to the area. As a charity, volunteering has always been at the heart of Craigtoun and there are many and varied volunteering opportunities within the park.
