A Creative Surge! Sneak Peek In The Studio...

It's fair to say that creativity has a natural ebb and flow. After what may seem like an eternity of nothing much happening,  it's exciting to feel the energy of new projects gaining momentum! This year, I've been drawn to doing lots of painting and increasingly, I've been tucked away in my studio.  So, this blog is a great place to share recent work with you! The paintings above are a few ideas, works in progress, experiments and happily, a sign that right now, I'm in the flow...

Foxy Lady & Friends....

Our latest collection of colourful, quirky scarves - foxes, dragonflies, sculls, moustaches  - are now available in the Funky Scottish boutique.  These long, light scarves are perfect for adding an extra layer on days when a big coat is too hot and a little jacket or cardigan is too cool!  They're also a fabulous cover up for travelling on chilly trains and planes.  Check out more of our favourite scarf looks via Pinterest.  Meanwhile, visit us at Funky Scottish to create your own chic, spring style....

The Maldives, New York, Capri...Pittenweem!

 "Pittenweem is know for its fishing - 

harbourside parking is "reserved for fisherman's vehicles".  

But the village's other speciality is art...

expect to find some gems".

- Conde Naste Traveller

How exciting! Our beautiful village has been featured in the tres chic magazine, Conde Naste Traveller.  It's great to see a special mention for the artistic community and of course, our annual Pittenweem Arts Festival too!  If you haven't been to the area before, this article will give you a hand-held guide to the the very best of the East Neuk, alongside more highlights around Fife.  We're so pleased to see such a bright light shining on our hidden gems...
 
So, whether you're a lucky local or living further afield, it's clear that during the upcoming Easter Holidays...Pittenweem is the place to be!

If you do visit, remember to pop into Funky Scottish to say hello!

A Springtime Flourish...

This Saturday, 1st March, is officially the first day of springtime!  Celebrate by filling a colourful vase or jug with your favourite flowers!  This gorgeous jug is from a hand-painted collection by Karen Edward @ Funky Scottish - we have more in the boutique. Alternatively, get in touch and ask for a commission.  Either way, its time to enjoy the first flourish of the new season...

Cushions with Character (& comfy too!)...

 

A charming home & lifestyle - in our humble opinion - is effortlessly enhanced by colourful, comfy, characterful cushions! They can be piled up on the sofa or tucked neatly into a window seat, they breathe new life into a vintage chair and look so inviting scattered over your bed. 

Put simply, cushions bring a sense of warmth and luxury to your own little world. 

We have a cute, quirky and cool selection in the Funky Scottish boutique, so come in and find a cushion that makes you want to curl up with a cuppa...
