2023 Recap

Writer: RuthRuth

What a year it's been, the first season selling at fairs and events. It's been so very enjoyable, meeting everyone who came past the stall, customers and connecting with all the other makers and fair organisers.

There's been sunshine, downpours, wind and snow indoor fairs and outdoor, busy fairs and small little ones each has been unique and fun to be at.

It's been fantastic as a maker to hear feedback on what I'm doing and making. I've really enjoyed people asking about the different mythical characters in particular and how much these have been liked. By far the most popular figure at fairs has been the Puffin followed by Loch Monsters and Purple Thistles and most popular item sold online in 2023 has been the Scottish Wildcat.


We've introduced so many new figures throughout 2023 growing the range from when the website opened and since the first fair in May. We plan to calm down and introduce less in 2024 but we're excited about working on what we have planned. We will also be busy making more Puffins as these are currently out of stock!

Thank you so much for purchases and support. Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and we wish you all the best for 2024. Any orders placed before January 7th won't be sent until 8th January.
