Good morning from a warm and sunny Banff.
Hopefully the weather is starting to get a bit better, because we’ve got something big lined up, next weekend, but first we have to deal with this weekend.
A massive Thank You to RARE Makers Market for putting on a great event, in Portsoy, yesterday. The whole day went without a hitch, well organised, an excellent array of vendors, loads of people through the doors and, thankfully, plenty of customers.
My voice is still hoarse from all the conversations that I had. Quite a few people actually came to the market to see us, which is really nice. And we met loads of new customers and, hopefully, a few potential customers. Thanks to Elaine and Fiona for putting on another great event.
Before I go too far, I’d like to thank Susan at Portsoy Marble Shop & Holiday Cottages for letting folk use the Grainstore. If you’re looking for a unique space to hold any kind of event, give her a shout. She really is a force of nature.
It really feels like all our hard work is starting to pay off, the days and nights of work that Kirsty puts into every design is being appreciated by everyone who sees our prints, online and in person. The constant pushing that we’re doing online is getting through to people and getting out there, to markets and fairs, is definitely paying off. People like to tell us how much they love our style and every single nice comment and praise really does help keep us going.
We started this with just Kirsty’s talent and both of our’s determination to make something special. Sometimes it’s hard to see how far we’ve come, since we started, but we’ve ticked off a lot of goals and done a few things that we never even thought about, when we started. I’ll take this moment to say that Kirsty was the only UK artist asked to take part in the International Print Exhibition, in China, earlier this year.
We’ve got our biggest event of 2026, so far, coming up, next week- North Scotland Garden Show in Turriff, Friday and Saturday. We’re going to be busy, all week, getting ready. We don’t have anything lined up, for a month after this, but we won’t be taking it easy. We’ve got a load of interesting events lined up, for later in the summer, all around the North East of Scotland. If you’re interested in booking us for any fairs or markets, please get in touch and we’ll see what we can do. I’m more than happy to travel around Scotland and let more people see what we’re doing.
Sorry for the long post, we’re still buzzing about yesterday. We’ve got a lot to do, this week.
Don’t forget, if you can’t make it to any of our events, head over to our website and we can send a little piece of beautiful Banffshire to you. We’ve got prints heading to the US and Canada, right now.
Thanks for reading!
