Shielagh Tacey Handwoven

Thanks to everyone who I have met this past week at craft fairs and to all of you who have bought something from me. It has made me a very happy sole and so I’m off to buy myself a birthday treat – THANK YOU!

My shop is looking a little bare so it is the perfect time to request items for me to make – even if you simply want to let me know what colours you think I should use.. Contact me here.

Just before I go here’s a photo of my stall at Merchant Square:

Yep the time has come to get shopping – there are only 15 days left till Christmas! But don’t fear there are plenty of lovely gifts to buy and here are some places to start:

Why not pop along to Welcome Home in Partick or their wonderful pop up shop at CCA. I was there the other day and trying hard not to buy things for myself (HINT HINT).

Or pop along to The Shop of Interest who have a new blog here!

Finally and most importantly (teehee) why not come along the the Merchant Square Market this weekend? I will be there selling all sorts of handmade woven things (see the photo above) and my talented pal Carolyn Alexander is also going to be there – even more gift opportunities! It’s open 11am till 6pm on Saturday and 12pm till 6pm on Sunday. Santa’s Grotto will also be there – so do come along!

The Shop of Interest has recently opened in Finnieston — 1058, Argyle Street to be exact. It’s about time Finnieston got a lovely shop selling beautiful arty bits and pieces including my scarves. So please do pop in and say hello to the friendly folk who work there and buy some Christmas presents or a treat for yourself!

The Shop of Interest naturally has a Facebook page too.

Here’s a photo of the beautiful Glenlee on the Clyde yesterday. Although the weather was very cold and a little snowy people did venture out to see me at the craft fair on board. Sadly today the craft fair was cancelled due to heavy snow. My next craft fair is in two weeks time – 11th/12th December at Merchant Square but in the meantime I will be putting lovely things on to my shop – keep checking here.

I’m back in Glasgow after a long drive and thankful I avoided all the dangerous looking snow! I’m busy getting ready for this weekend at Glasgow’s Tall Ship – Glenlee. If you’ve never been to see the Tall Ship it’s well worth getting wrapped up warm and taking a look. I will be selling my woven goodies at the craft fair – lots of scarves to warm those cold necks, entry is free this weekend and there is even the chance for children to meet Santa (small charge applies). Let’s hope the snow holds off…

I’d like to thank Glasgow Craft Fairs for a successful, well organised event last Saturday. I met lots of talented people and came away with some great ideas to use at my next craft fair which is at The Tall Ship on the weekend of November 27th/28th – 11am to 4pm. Busy busy busy! This week I’m heading south and looking forward to a visit to The Handweavers Studio and Gallery in London. I might even treat myself to some of their lovely looking yarn.

I just got emailed this and thought I’d share as I’ll be there in December – See dates below! Also a quick reminder that I will be at Hillhead Library this Saturday – a chance to get the first pick of my work including scarves, cushions and Christmas Cards.
