Folksy Friday- Shop local

This week I thought I would base my Folksy Friday on a shop local theme. Local for me now is St Andrews/East Fife/Dundee area. I think all of the shops I have included are based around these areas. For the group I really just picked a few of the things I quite fancy myself.

(just a little update since I posted this Folksy Friday, if you are interested in the zine in Lauren Gentrys shop please go through Nikki McWilliams (click the digestive). I never noticed at the time but Gentry Illustrations is on holiday mode, whoops.

Sunday morning mission

My mission for today is to go out and buy some ribbon locally which I think is going to be a bit of a challenge. Not been living near St Andrews for too long and I know lots of lovely craft gift shops but not shops to buy craft supplies. Could also do with looking for cedar curls or something similar but think that might be pushing the boat out! I normally go through to Edinburgh for my supplies but spending £10 on petrol to get some ribbon seems a bit crazy. I'm sure there will be some amazing craft supply shop just round the corner, its just finding it! I'm sure I could find all I need online but I prefer having a look at things like ribbon in the flesh.

Also will need to do a little tidying today- there is a saying, what is it- a tidy place is a tidy mind or something like that. What this picture says I'm not sure but this is what greeted me this morning.
