🧵✨ Gin, giggles, and gorgeous lamps...

Tonight's Gin Lamp Workshop was a colourful reminder that creativity doesn't need to be complicated. A bottle, a lampshade, a beautiful fabric choice, and a couple of hours spent making something completely unique. 💡

From the bold botanical blues of the Bombay Sapphire lamp to the striking pinks and purples paired with Hendrick's Lunar Gin, every lamp had its own personality. No two the same, and that's exactly how I like it.

What made tonight even more special was welcoming back two ladies who have joined me for several workshops. It means so much when people choose to come back again and again, spending their evenings creating, chatting, laughing, and trying something new.

The lamps were beautiful, but the catch-ups and conversations were just as lovely. Thank you both for your continued support. It is genuinely appreciated, and I loved spending the evening with you both. 💕

Misty really is such a sweet girl. We can't wait to see her in a home with humans who will treat her like a princess. https://www.anydogildorescue.org/misty.html

Just a wee reminder that I'll be closing the shop shortly to attend a very special dress showing. ✨👑

I will be back later, and the shop will remain open until all of today's mannequins have been returned and any mannequins needed for tomorrow's dress showing have been collected.

As things may be a little bit up in the air this afternoon, if you're planning to come down to the shop, please send me a wee message first to check if I'm open.

I'll share more details about the dress showing later! 💜

Today is Kai's 5th Diaversary 💙

Many of you who have visited the shop over the years will have heard the unmistakable sound of a Dexcom alarm going off in the background. It's become part of daily life for us.

Today marks five years since Kai was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

Five years of carb counting, blood sugar checks, sensor changes, alarms in the middle of the night, treating highs, treating lows, and always thinking one step ahead.

When Kai was diagnosed, we had never heard of the 4 Ts:
🚽 Toilet
💧 Thirsty
😴 Tired
⚖️ Thinner

Knowing these signs can save lives.

Type 1 Diabetes doesn't take a day off, but neither does Kai. Whether it's school, training, fights, friends or just being a teenager, he gets on with life with a strength that makes me proud every single day.

If sharing the 4 Ts helps one family recognise the signs earlier, then it's worth sharing.

Happy 5th Diaversary, Kai. 💙 Diabetes is relentless but so are we.

🌈 Happy Pride Month

Creativity doesn't care who you love, how you identify, where you come from, or what makes you uniquely you.

Pull up a chair. Join in. Be yourself.

Everyone is welcome here. ❤️

Is there anyone that can borrow me a small wand like many Fairies from Linlithgow use for their galaday? Even just for a quick minute so I can trace the size of the star?

Another update from us 💛 its all happening today!

As of today, Giraffe Blinds will no longer be stocking Frenchic Paint from their Falkirk space.

The good news? Fair Fantoosh is still open as usual — stocked with all your Frenchic paint needs, plus all the creative bits you know and love 🎨

And… a little shout out into the Falkirk area 👀

If you’re a local business — or you know someone who might be — and would be interested in stocking Frenchic Paint, we’d love to hear from you.

Tag them below, share this post, send it their way… let’s see where it lands ✨

As always, thank you so much for your support 💛
