I’m very pleased to announce that I’ve joined the ranks of Shop Scotland!

Misericordia

Shop Scotland’s concept is simple: We give small creative ecommerce businesses a platform to shout from, and we help people around the world discover Scottish talent in abundance. With an easy to navigate site, category specific sections and features, there is always a wealth of fresh and exciting businesses to uncover.

After sadly seeing the demise of many local independent shops and the rise of the tartan tat brigade, Shop Scotland was born to help raise awareness about real Scottish products. You might find tartan on this site but you definitely won’t find tat.

Susan from Shop Scotland is full of exciting links on Twitter and Facebook to help you discover other Scottish businesses and I’ve spoken to nothing but lovely folk since joining.

It also came in quite handy when my poor website had a php-meltdown and had to be rescued by the Lovely Young Man and I could re-direct website traffic to something lovely and professional looking with links to all the relevant places.

So as a token of my gratitude, I’ve been browsing through other Shop Scotland-er’s pages and here are a few gems:

You know by now how much I love an eye veil, and it’s taking all my will power to leave my holiday money alone and not buy a dozen killing hats!

Some lovely glass (I’m feeling an urge for a martini all of a sudden).
