Where we'll be in August





I read a great quote on a flyer the other day.

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all of those who wander are lost"

J. R. Tolkien

At Rose Hip & Tutu the wanderlust hangs in the air like fairy dust and like any good adventurista when we something catches our attention we're off to explore.

Three wanderings we'll definitely be month this month are . . .

02/08 HOMECOMING TARTAN DAY MARKET

We've been rifling through one of our favourite areas in the stock room and playing with tartans again. Expect some of our trademark Scottesque Skirts with a twist along with some new ideas.

08/08 at 8 CHATTAN PLACE OFFICIAL OPENING

Yes we're going back to the place where the dream started but now it's all changed and we're going to give blessing to the opening of

Peltoniemi
Made-to-order

Our lovely friend Tytti Peltoniemi is opening her concept store and workshop/showroom at our old address. Stocking some produits exquisites and showcasing her range of made-to-order bags, Tytti accepts nothing but the best in her own work so you'll be sure to find here only the finest of the fine. And, oh, yes . . . it was on her flyer that I read the words of Tolkien above. She's got some great books to buy in the most wonderful of editions.


28/8 at WIZARD FESTIVAL, New Deer

In its third year and with a cracking line up (Idlewild, The Beat, Buzzcocks, The Charlatans and The Cuban Brothers are among those we'll be heading for), the powers that wizardly be have requested our presence as adjudicators for Fancy Dress Friday. How could we refuse! It's being held in the Wee Wizard's Children's arena but don't let that stop all you big kids out there from donning your dressing up box favourites for the event! You know we love the surreal to just-all-out-there!

We're not lost but we are wandering, see you out there!
