Had the privilege of painting this little one at Christmas time. ❤️ Little Tess. ❤️
Unfortunately Tess passed away last year, the bestest wee pal you could ever have, and now very sorely missed.
Thankyou for giving me the opportunity to paint this gorgeous little lady. ❤️

In December we shared the sad news that we would be stopping production of our traditional hats. Today we have much happier news to share....

Shortly after that we were approached by one of our long-time customers (House of Tartan Ltd) with a proposal to continue manufacturing our traditional hats in Scotland.

We are delighted to announce we have since agreed they will manufacture and distribute Balmorals, and Glengarrys under license to us in a new facility, hopefully in Stewarton the Bonnet Toun where we have made them for so many years.

We are contributing equipment, machines and materials. We will also loan them some of our highly skilled and experienced employees to help train new workers to Mackie’s high standards. Going forward, we will continue to supply the specialist customised trims they will need.

House of Tartan Ltd will shortly be launching a fund-raising campaign to raise awareness of this iconic Scottish product and to help with training funding.

This will all take time. They are estimating perhaps 6 to 9 months. But in the meantime, they are holding some stocks of Mackie manufactured headwear for immediate shipment. Not all styles, sizes or colours are there, but many are. Please ask them!

Constantly looking at inspiration. This theme? early 20th century, femininity versus masculinity - Bedroom ideas.

My creative partner in crime Linda !! Very effective and simple way to upcycle a plain lampshade. And the result? An ‘on trend’, hand painted, gorgeous result. She is my creative guru, my inspiration. Check it out. ❤️❤️

Hi.
Having problems sharing anything to my page. For instance someone else’s post. Other people trying to share their posts to mine. Even putting a post up on my page.
I’ve went through settings and ticked all I can see to allow this to happen but yet nope.
Computer says no 🥴😔

Can anyone help? Thankyou.

Let’s do this ☺️

We are aware some people prefer to work from a screenshot of the sitter. Here's one of Rankin for you to reference. Enjoy 🎨🖼️

Found out about this just now.
Has anyone took part the last 2 weeks? Follow on instagram, and on here. ❤️
