Lots On Our Plates! Festive Colour, Commissions & Our Christmas Party!

Remember last week I told you about the little robin that inspired my new festive bowl?  Well, the finished result is shown above - a big splash of festive colour!  That's not all though - we've been busy with plenty more designs too....

AND I've just created a special commission for a totally unique family Christmas present...

If you'd like me to design a truly bespoke Funky Scottish gift for you or a loved one, just get in touch with me!

And finally.... 

WE'RE HAVING A CHRISTMAS PARTY....
& YOU'RE INVITED!

Join us on Thursday 6th of December - we'll be sharing mulled wine, mince pies and many gorgeous gifts....and we're open until 10pm!

Really hope to see you there for lots of festive fun!   Karen x

Little Wing...

This week, I'm really looking forward to sharing one of my latest creations - a very festive little bowl.  I've put the finishing touches to the artwork and it's just going in the kiln!  So, for now, I'm sharing a wee snapshot of a robin - the little bird providing inspiration for this latest project!   The bowl will be featured here shortly.  Happy Wednesday!!

Heaven Scent...

We are absolutely loving our new range of Pintail Candles featuring divine festive scents including Mulled Wine, Cinnamon and Orange, Frankincense & Myrrh and Christmas Spice.  You can come and try the scents yourself in our Funky Scottish boutique. The candles are being showcased as part of our Coastal Christmas centrepiece, featuring a driftwood christmas tree, a sandwashed positive affirmation coat rail, heart cushions, cute candle holders, vintage key coat hooks, greetings cards and more gift ideas. 

Also, why not take the stress out of Christmas shopping and have a relaxed, coastal daytrip?  Wander around Funky Scottish and all the other little art & craft boutiques here in Pittenweem, take time out for coffee and cake, amble down to the harbour or coastal path and perhaps find a few pebbles and trinkets for your own Coastal Christmas decorations?!   Hope to see you soon...

Island Inspiration - Mull & Mallorca....

This year, I've been really lucky to enjoy some time away from the studio in two of my favourite locations - The Isle of Mull and the island of Mallorca!  These are obviously two very different places but there are real similarities too.  There's a familiar ebb and flow to life in the quiet fishing villages of both the Mediterranean and our own coastal communities. Also, both islands have a special quality that, for me at least, lingers long after a visit. Even better, I took along my camera, allowing me to capture and recall some really inspiring images that I know will weave themselves into my own creative projects, somewhere along the line.  Have you had an inspirational holiday this year?  Do you have a special place, either close to home or far away, that feeds your soul?  I'd love to hear from you! Meanwhile, here are a few of my snapshots from the islands. It's difficult to tell where Mallorca ends and Mull begins, don't you think?
