Yesterday marked 11 years since I left my career in Civil Service Project Management after 21 years!

I cried as I cycled away from the office, wondering if I'd made a terrible mistake leaving a secure, well paid, flexible job with a good pension 😰.

But what an 11 years it has been!

We were excited to unpack a big box from @prismofstarlings recently, especially as it had brand new gifts inside!

These sets of 4 badges are so lovely & they're the perfect stocking fillers.

The physical shop is closed on Mondays but the online shop is always open at www.sunshineno1.com.

The beautiful diaries are back for 2026 🥳!

For several years now we've had these diaries from lovely Kirsty at @prismofstarlings and I'm thrilled they're back for 2026!

Question! Should we stock these herb strippers?

I asked the lovely Old Rossland Pottery to make one especially for me & this was their prototype!

I absolutely love it & used it for coriander & parsley in last night's dish (cod with chickpeas & chermoula - see the end of the clip).

As Depeche Mode sang - We just can't get enough of these candles!

Brand new in from @paintspylons they're fun & smell incredible (just like I imagine Olivia Coleman to be 😄!).

We're open 11-4 today & always open online - www.sunshineno1.com.

Have a superb Sunday! Suzi ☀️

Morning!

I've been asked a few times recently for brooches so when I was at my bench this week I had fun making these 2 sterling silver brooch pins.

The 'spiral roots' can be worn with the spiral hanging free, allowing movement, or with the pin overlapping and fixing it in a static position.

I've been off for a few days celebrating mine and my dad's birthdays!

We've had a great time eating well and being tourists around the Central Belt 😄!

I thought I'd share this collection of Abbie Lois prints as they make me so happy.

They're all absolutely beautiful & the folklore stories which inspired each piece are so interesting & are included with each print.

We've got all of them in store & online (sunshineno1.com/search?q=Abb...).

It's outdoor weather at the moment and we've got a great range of enamel mugs for those garden drinks, picnics, outdoor swims or camping trips!

Also just in is a brand new steel mug with that West of Scotland refrain - 'b*st*rd midgies'! Made me chuckle 🤭!

Laura of Love Me Again dropped in more of her fab spoons recently - 'tw*t' is always 1 of the most popular choices 😆!

Once her kids are back at school she'll drop in more, including sweary ones, which seem to go down well 🤬!
