Just some one of a kind pieces that went up the road to @craftyweebirdiegiftshop in Nairn last week. I bet you can't guess the colour of box the pink heart went in...

I don't know why these earrings don't sell better. With their nod to the earth and sky, or continents in an ocean, I thought they'd be a firm favourite, but no. I feel back for them that they never get picked 😅 knittykittybangbang.etsy.com…

Send this to that friend that always stops to take photos of rainbows and pretty colours 📸🌈 I'm always stopping for reflections in puddles and peeling paint, and details of flowers and berries. I'm a pain in the butt to go anywhere with 😅

These are my bestsellers, and they are in navy and gold because I was thinking about the twinkling of stars against the night sky... Join ViP club here bit.ly/kkbbvip for an instant discount, freebies with your order, and news as soon as I have it.

These diddy baby heart earrings are just so cute 😍 I've done red, burgundy and denim blue so far.

⭐ RESTOCKED ⭐ My all time best sellers, in both shops and online, these dusty blue and rose gold stud earrings are back in my Etsy shop and ready to go. knittykittybangbang.etsy.com…

I'm glad I took part in xponorth yesterday. I met some great like minded folk and got up today eager to have a proper look through all the pitches

A first of it's kind easily readable book by an Orcadian author about the role Orkney folk played in colonizing Canada. Told through stories of real people. Darkly funny, irreverent and deeply tragic. Non-conformist social history #xponorth

For 3 years I've traced Orcadians colonizing Canada through the lives of ordinary folk to help decolonize myself and the minds of readers with an accessible, interesting read about what we did and the impact we had Social history #xponorth

What happens when an Orcadian speaker and a Cree speaker get together? We solve an old mystery. Read our history as written BY us in my book about how Orcadians colonized Canada Social history #xponorth

A historical figure with a story so good you'll need to read my book to get her name. Everything written about her until now is a lie, every photo a fake. I'm the first to research her properly along with other Orcadian figures who colonized Canada #xponorth

Haven't been here in so long but delighted to see some Blowhole! #uglydogs

Hudsons Bay company played a huge role in creating Canada. In peak years 80% of their staff was Orcadian and they targeted Orkney folk to recruit from 1702 until 1970s. True stories of ordnar folk, for the first time with the unique view of an Orcadian female historian #xponorth

The Revenant meets Sunset Song - true stories of ordinary Orcadians in the Canadian fur trade and the impact on communities on both sides of the ocean both then and now Social history non-fiction #xponorth

Storytelling is how we learn and how we bond. Told in conversational Orkney storytelling style, this is a history book that examines how the people of Orkney made a big impact on Turtle Island through the fur trade. Darkly funny and deeply tragic. Social history #xponorth

Ann wasn't 'old money', but was rich enough to land herself a baronet. When the new world doesn't receive her as a Queen she manipulates the prejudice of others to take out her competition for the throne Just one of the unheard true stories of Orcadians in the fur trade #xponorth

She was working as a servant on a bleak 19thc orkney farm until she takes the name John and hops a boat to work in the Canadian fur trade. Just one of the true stories in my book about Orcadians in the fur trade and the lasting impact on both communities Social history #xponorth
