Hello Hello Hello my lovelies 👋🏻

How are we all doing today? 🤗

So something exciting has just been delivered to me at my lovely wee shop 👇🏻

I couldn’t be more honoured, humbled and extremely grateful to each and every one of you who voted for The Dancing Thistle Gifts & Gallery as one of your favourite local shops 🥰

I didn’t even know that it was a thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

But it just makes my heart sing that you have voted for us because it’s not just me who makes this wee shop great, it’s each and every small independent business housed within these walls that makes it special ♥️

We are all a family and hopefully with your support will continue to grow and offer something special with each visit you make.

But let’s not forget that there’s so many fantastic small family businesses here in
Ayr and as long as you support them, we can all continue to grow and offer products and services that you want and need.

From the very bottom of my heart, a great big Thank You 😘
Vx 💜

Morning my lovelies 👋🏻
How are we all doing this morning? 🤗

The shop will be closed for a week today (Saturday 10th) as we enjoy spending time with family for a wee holiday and to rest as it approaches a whole year since moving to our new location in Alloway Street 🥰

It’s been a fantastic journey with new experiences, new Artists, new friends and lots and lots of new and exciting products available in our lovely wee shop.

We thank you for each and every one of you who has helped support us in our journey and look forward to welcoming new customers through our doors into the next year.

We love you all 😘
Take care and see you when we get back into the shop on Monday 20th October.

Hello Hello Hello my lovely people 👋🏻
How are we all doing today? 🤗

We are so excited to tell you that we have a new product added to our ever expanding collection of terrific tantalising and tasty Artisan food products which are Gluten Free, Dairy Free or Vegan 🌱 😋

You might have seen the adverts online or on the television 📺 and thought you would like to try them.

Well worry not because we have the brilliant concept that is available to buy in our lovely wee shop 🥰

Beverage Bombs look like something that you would put in your bath but you wouldn’t want to waste them doing that 😳

All you need is some Prosecco to make a super duper delicious Cocktail 🍸 but if you are driving, working the next morning or don’t like the taste of Alcohol, then just add some Sparkling Water and let them work their magic ✨ for a guilty free drink 😍

Get yourself into our shop today to pick up a treat for the weekend 🏃🏻‍♀️

Hello Hello Hello my lovelies 👋🏻

How are we all doing today? 🤗

So I have to post ‘ANOTHER’ Polite Notice 😳👇🏻

‼️ please DO NOT bring any open food or drinks into the shop ‼️

This is a GIFT SHOP 👉🏻 not a canteen!!! 😳

Things get spilled out and hands may be sticky and then you or your children touch and lift items to look at them.

Absolutely NO ONE wants to buy something that is covered in the residue of yours or your children’s food. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is also YOUR responsibility to keep an eye on YOUR children when entering the shop.

There’s lots of delicate and breakable items that have been lovingly hand crafted by our Artists and as we have said before …

👉🏻 ALL BREAKAGES HAVE TO BE PAID FOR 🤔

As we have also previously said, we have several cameras all over the shop.

Please spare yourself and us the embarrassment of having to draw your attention to damage caused by you or your children 😬

The Dancing Thistle Gifts & Gallery is a Happy Place and we absolutely hate having to post things like this 😔

Please respect our Artists and their Artwork 💜

Our ‘Tarot by Mary’ slots on a Saturday is proving to be very popular ✨

Thank you to all who have came for a reading so far and we are delighted to those of you who have visited repeatedly over the past few weeks 🤗 ♥️

Mary has decided to extend her Tarot Readings to include a ‘Tarot Workshop’ 💛

The workshop is a weekly hour long session spread out over the course of a year.

Mary will teach, guide and encourage you to learn to read and understand the Tarot in a lovely relaxed & cosy setting and the aim is to allow you to eventually be able to go onto give readings yourself.

✨ Space is limited with only 6 spaces available per session.

✨ Booking is essential as space is so limited.

✨ Sessions will be available on a Tuesday and Thursday at 10.30am & 4.30pm.
