love you more than bru...

After a heavy Easter weekend Im willing to bet there are lots of people nursing a can of iron bru today. It's the beloved hangover cure of Scots the world over. People love the bru. Really really love the bru.

That's why I laughed so much at this wonderful tote from the lovely Claire Barclay.

I love Claire's work. I have bought countless things from her over the last year or so.

Her work celebrates the cheeky and fun elements of our  Scottish culture.

Not all but a lot of her doodles are inspired by her general Scottishness and the funny quirks and sayings we have! 

All items are designed and handmade by her in her home studio in sunny Glasgow.

She even does custom commissions, whether it be an original illustration, a set of cards/invitations or a personalized one off piece of jewellery, you can email her with any queries at clairebarclaydraws@ gmail.com
