There are a lot of artists & creative folk here on Bute and most of them only sell locally on the island but a few do sell online so today I'll be sharing some of their work with you.
First up is Bonnie Bling, who I have featured before. She makes laser cut jewellery featuring Scottish slang words & phrases, amongst other things.
Ruth Slater is a contemporary artist.
Ascog Wool is reared and sheared from Shetland, Hebridean, Lleyn-Cheviot, Herdwick & Texel sheep grazed at Ascog Farm on Isle of Bute.
The Bute Woodspoiler is originally from Isle of Wight but now lives here on Isle of Bute.
Isle of Bute Distillery produce small batch craft gin using locally sourced botanicals.
Last but not least, there is me making beanie hats, scarves & other handmade crochet items. Each item I sell helps pay for the yarn to make other items & the postage costs of sending parcels out to homeless outreach projects around the UK.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed this selection of gift ideas from Isle of Bute.
I'll see you again soon for another round of gift ideas from small independent sellers.
