Finding ways forward

I hope this finds you safe and well and able to enjoy a little freedom at last.  I have a few pieces of news to share.

Poolewe Tuesday Market
I am delighted to let you know that the wonderful Poolewe Tuesday Market started up again on 18th August. This was thanks to the meticulous planning and hard work of the organisers.  Of course it is a bit different, with a limited number of stalls each week, a takeaway cafe (some weeks) rather than a sit-in one and a limit on numbers allowed in to the hall at any time (currently 20 visitors). It was so good to be out and about (wearing one of my own mask designs, of course) and talking to people face to face again.  I will be at the market every Tuesday (except 22nd September) until the end of October.  It's open 10am - 2.30pm every Tuesday in Poolewe Village Hall.

Masks
Since it seems that face coverings will be with us for a while yet, I've set up a number of my designs (over 100) to be available on masks from Redbubble.  I've bought a few of these myself and find them very comfortable to wear. I've been wearing the Sweet Peas one (shown below) at the Poolewe Tuesday Market and have had some kind comments (and requests to purchase). There's 20% off when you buy 4.  I've been interested to see various designs appearing - it's a good way to show a bit of your personality, when your smile is not on show! 
​

​Stockists
I'm happy to let you know that several of my local stockists have recently reopened their doors - carefully and cautiously, of course. 

The GALE centre in Gairloch is open again, (10am - 5.30pm, every day except Saturday) offering teas, coffees and cakes and a range of gifts, as well as information about the local area.  

Gairloch Museum is also open (10am - 5pm, Tuesday - Saturday) with visits by appointment only for now. They have produced a useful video to show you what to expect when you come to visit.

Loch Torridon Community Centre Gallery is open again too : Monday - Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday 10am - 2pm.  I have some original work on show, here, including small, mounted works, as well as a range of greetings cards.  The Wee Whistle Stop is providing refreshments at this lovely venue. Check their Facebook page for opening times.  

Cabinet, the lovely wee gift shop within the An Talla Solais gallery in Ullapool, has also just reopened.  They are a new stockist for me, with a range of my mugs, coasters, keyrings and greetings cards (mainly with a nautical theme) available.  Open Tues-Sat, 10-1 and 2-5. 

New Stockist
Delighted to say that the Button Bothy, located within Poolewe Village Hall, is now stocking a range of my greetings cards.  This is a gem of a shop, selling jewellery, buttons galore, scarves and other gifts, and also providing access to Ron's Book Bothy with an eclectic mix of vintage books, prints, charts and maps. 

In the meantime, if you're not in the northwest Highlands or aren't planning to visit anytime soon, I have a wide range of items available in my website shop. 

Many thanks for your continued interest in my work - it is greatly appreciated.  If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the Contact page on my website.

wishing you all the best
