We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets and congratulations to the 3 winners who have now received their fantastic prizes. Thank you to all the artisans who generously donated items for the raffle and thank you to Mr and Mrs Claus for doing the draw.
We raised an incredible £544 which has been split between Art in Mind and British Heart Foundation. All parties have now received their donations. What a wonderful way to finish the year and wrap up the pop up. 🧑‍🎄 🎁

It has been wonderful to support 3 charities, thank you to everyone who bought Craft Club decorated glassware, all proceeds go to ArCaS. Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets. There will be a separate post about that, but all monies will be split between Art in Mind and British Heart Foundation.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Claus who entertained us beautifully yesterday. Special thank you to Kirsty Lou for your constant encouragement and support and for helping out at weekends. Also thank you to Kirsteen, Jo and Jill who also gave a helping hand and Yvette and Eleanora for all the additional help especially over the Shop Arran Weekend.

Thank you to my incredibly supportive husband, the unsung hero who has put up lights, helped clear up and has been my constant rock. Thank you to my mother who has helped so much with the kids and dog, I couldn’t have done it, without you.

Thank you to Rudi for saving Jo and I during the great flood.

Thank you for all the visits, chats and cups of tea over the last five and a half weeks.

It has been a wonderful and very positive experience. Thank you for the laughs, the tears, the conversations, the warmth, and especially the love and the collaboration.

Thank you,

The pop up may be over for this year but our Artisans are still working together. Pop up and see all the great stalls at the last market of the year.

The lovely Tracy from Island Porcelain Arran has braved the weather and has created a beautiful display, kindly displaying some of my candles with her. That’s what it’s all about, supporting each other. You will find Tracy at Brodick castle Christmas market today so pop Along to see her beautiful authenticity made on Arran gifts.

Only one more sleep until Father Christmas arrives. I can’t believe it is our last day at the pop-up, it has been absolutely fantastic showcasing all 22 Arran Artisans. So as a thank you to the incredible Arran community we have Santa arriving at 1.30pm, where there will be a FREE gift for every child who visits our grotto. Santa will also be drawing the winning tickets for the fantastic raffle in aid of British Heart Foundation and local charity Art in Mind. There will also be bubbly for everyone as we celebrate this collaborative project. We hope you can pop in for our last day. Open 11am -4pm.
