Scottish folks are so inventive.
Instead of accents, they have brogues. Instead of hats, they have tams. And instead of ordinary decor items, textiles, and accessories, they have wares on papastour.com.
The site’s numerous artists make lovely traditional crafts: handwoven willow baskets and decorations, smooth wooden bowls, bobbins, and banister brushes, to name a few. Laura West’s collection includes stunning old-fashioned book bindings complete with handmade paper and oak bark covers.
Don’t miss the wearable items: The silver mismatched flower earrings are pretty; and the scarves, in a variety of festive stripes, bird patterns, and circles, make swell gifts. Even your breakfast will stay warm with the adorable egg cozies. And for your male friends, check out the woolly scarf or unusual cuff links. They’ll go great with his kilt.
Oh, right-o — that’s man-skirt to you.
