Where to find me in November and December ?
Galleries, craft fairs …. where to find Dragons Are Real, either on the mainland or on the Isle of Lewis ? Grab a pencil and a notepad.
Of course, if you can’t join one of this craft fair, remember my online boutique is open and the shipping fees are free in UK
You know how much I like to support local and independent business, because I am one of them but also because I like a walk in a vibrant and authentic boutique. During Christmas time it is even more comforting with all the sparkle and fairy light shining in the dark. So it is quite naturally that I have built partnership with a number of galleries where you will find a selection of my products.
Empty House Traders and Lewis Revival - South Beach, Stornoway, Isles of Lewis –2 businesses sharing the same space and offering a large range of vintage and fair trades goods, combined with a selection of art and craft made by local makers and artists. A unique experience where there is always something to discover as the owners are gifted to set up and en lighting their treasures.
The Alchemist - 48 High Street, Dingwall IV15 9HL, Ross Shire –
is a gallery set in an ancient dispensary. Ground level and first floor are linked by a massive old and creaking staircase, 2 spaces where you can admire exhibitions showing divert work from artists and artisans. In this charming royal Burgh that is Dingwall, the Alchemist deserve a visit.
Gallery 48 – 48 Shore Street, Cromarty, IV11 8XL, Ross Shire –
How not to fall for this small colourful place at the end of the Cromarty firth? Next to a potter workshop, Jane welcomes you in her little gallery displaying jewelries, painting, knits and accessories, the perfect place to find a gift you can easily bring back in your suitcase.
Artisan And – 13-15 Bank Street, Aberfeldy, PH15 2BB, Perthshire –
Have you heard about the Birk of Aberfeldy, a walk there will maybe fill you with the same inspiration that fed Robert Burns ? A drive to Aberfeldy through the Perthshire is always nourishing for me because of the forest, the beautiful architecture and the joy to spend time in this small town. Park the car and visit the gallery Artisan And, enjoy the heterogeneous display of textile, glass, wood, paper and paint work. I always combine my stay in Aberfeldy with a visit to the Water Mill independent bookshop and a break in their coffee shop. They serve the best Chai Latte ever.
