What an absolutely fantastic day we had at Johnshaven Fish Festival! ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall, bought something from us, sampled our shortbread, had a chat or simply came over to say hello. We were genuinely blown away by the support and it was lovely meeting so many people throughout the day.

We were kept so busy that somehow neither Bev nor I remembered to take a single photo of our stall! 😂 So if anyone happened to snap one while passing, we'd absolutely love to see it.

It was lovely being neighbours with Gemma and & Biff again too — we couldn't have asked for better company. Congratulations on selling out of the gourmet treats! 🎉

And a massive thank you to everyone involved in organising Johnshaven Fish Festival and making it such a brilliant day for the village.

Thank you again for supporting Etched & Crafted. ❤️

🐾 Every pet has a story... and every portrait tells one.

Whether it's a gentle soul like Theo, a cheeky character like Charlie, or that perfect smile that makes you laugh every day, I love creating personalised laser engraved slate portraits that capture what makes each pet so special.

Each portrait is individually created from your own favourite photograph and carefully engraved onto natural slate, creating a unique keepsake for your home or a thoughtful gift for someone special.

🐶 Dogs
🐱 Cats
🐴 Horses
🐾 ...and other much-loved pets are all welcome.

Whether you're celebrating a new family member, remembering a faithful companion, or simply want to turn a favourite photograph into something special, I'd be delighted to help.

Feel free to send me a message with your photo for a friendly, no-obligation chat.

Absolutely delighted to now have a selection of Etched & Crafted engraved slate gifts and Johnshaven shortbread available at Frit & Flux in Montrose.

Frit & Flux is a fantastic independent shop packed with unique gifts, handmade products and local makers, so if you're in Montrose it's well worth a visit.

And Cindy... I'm still not accepting responsibility for expanding waistlines after the shortbread comments! 😂🍪
