We want to live in the Indie Quarter

We've cultivated a lovely relationship with the Indie Quarter team over the years. We think the site is just fabulous and site manager, Jenny truly has her finger on the pulse of all things DIY. If you've yet to become acquainted with the joy of Indie Quarter, you really oughta sort that out. Visit the site regularly for indie shopping tips, Day In The Life features by inspiring creative business people and a whole load of gossip from the crafty world.

Jenny has very kindly published a cute little preview of our next Made In The Shade Boutique Shopping Event. Taking place on Saturday 26th September at The Lighthouse in Glasgow, we're gearing up to host a homecoming party to remember. Read all about it at the Indie Quarter website here.

We can also reveal this week that Made In The Shade gal Carrie (that's me!) will be putting on her 'roving reporter' hat and writing a little retrospective of the BUST Craftacular specially for Indie Quarter. We'll be attending the event on Saturday 22nd August (3 more sleeps) and the post will be live on Indie Quarter pretty much as soon as we get back - providing of course that we survive the Megabus trip home! I mean... What sort of time-warp wife travels by Megabus?!
