The Scottish Home: Brave Textiles

http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012/09/brave-textiles.html

Tuesday, September 04, 2012. A big plus was the fact that the Scottish accents were absolutely authentic - Billy Connolly, the brilliant and gorgeous Kevin McKidd, Kelly MacDonald, Emma Thompson. It was funny and clever and there was plenty to keep young and old alike entertained: plenty of slapstick for the kids, plenty of clever dialogue and subtle animation jokes for the adults. In short, this was a thoroughly entertaining film, but what struck me most of all (well it would, wouldn't it? Bois de Jasmi...

As an independent retailer and small business owner, Marion is naturally drawn to other small scale endeavours. So here is an eclectic mix of other small scale, one-off or down-right quirky things which have caught her eye. Mostly in Blighty, but there are a few interlopers! The list will grow as other little gems are remembered. Click on the links to plan some expeditions or do some armchair travelling. As you'll see we like old stuff, books plus tea and cakes!

The Scottish Home: December 2011

http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 12, 2011. Decking the Halls - Christmas Preparations. One of our Christmas cards for this year. I've been in the garden today, cutting holly and ivy and fir branches so that I can 'deck the halls' - which in my case means putting big vases and earthenware jugs of greenery through the house. A cheeky robin followed me everywhere, just in case I disturbed anything he might want to eat. Posted by Catherine Czerkawska. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Scottish Home: Antique Textiles, Scottish Islands and eBooks on Amazon Kindle

http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012/05/antique-textiles-scottish-islands-and.html

Monday, May 07, 2012. Antique Textiles, Scottish Islands and eBooks on Amazon Kindle. When the gorse is in bloom, kissing's in season. As many readers of this blog probably know by now, I have two jobs although I'd find it hard to say which is the 'day job' because I'm fairly obsessive about both of them. I buy, collect and sell (when I can bear to let them go! If you're in the UK and here. If you're in the US. Gorgeous cover art by textile artist Alison Bell. The Curiosity Cabinet will almost certainly ...

The Scottish Home: April 2012

http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 14, 2012. An Antique Honiton Lace Handkerchief. I knew that it was hand made bobbin lace, but thought at first that it came from Belgium, until a lace expert pointed out that it is, in fact, old hand made Honiton lace. I should have known, because I've been to the lovely lace museum there - on my honeymoon, a long time ago! Posted by Catherine Czerkawska. Tuesday, April 03, 2012. Another Lovely Old Scots Sampler.

The Scottish Home: The Rocking Horse Man

http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012/05/rocking-horse-man.html

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. The Rocking Horse Man. The horse that came home again. Soon though, Alan was making the most wonderful carved sculptural horses: a string of them in oak and ash, gessoed or polished wood, all with starry names: Rigel, Alpharatz, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Pegasus, Orion, Sirius. we lost track of where they went, although Zuben'ubi, a huge and wonderful creature on bowed rockers, stayed at home and lives with us still. We didn't make any fortunes. Just how sad can an old horse get?

The Scottish Home: September 2011

Sunday, September 25, 2011. Apples, Apples and More Apples (And Some Grapes! It's that time of year again, and the venerable old apple tree at the bottom of our garden is full of fruit, and also keeping us well supplied with windfalls in the rough weather. Of which we have had far, far too much, this summer, here in the West of Scotland. The apples are, according to Nigel Deacon. Meanwhile, I've been doing rather a lot of apple cooking!

The Scottish Home: January 2013

Monday, January 07, 2013. My Dolls' House At Christmas - And A New Project. The house with the dolls going about their business! The nursemaid at her sewing machine. There's been a very long silence on The Scottish Home for which I apologize. Before Christmas, I was busy with a couple of writing projects which took up almost all my time. We're on the mend now, but it meant that our Christmas holidays weren't as vibrant as they might have been and we had to turn down one or two nice invitations. That the ...

The Scottish Home: January 2012

http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Our still very wintry garden has been pruned to within an inch of its life. Actually, that isn't strictly true, and the wonderful local gardener who has done the work has made a fine job of it. But it won't really look right till the leaves start to come through - by which time everything will grow at such a rate that you won't be able to see exactly where the cutting has taken place.
