Rustic Treasures




We are a small family from Doncaster, England who have come to enjoy all things rustic, handmade and thrifty! In fact frugal living has really become a huge part of our day to day routines!

We have recently started to create items such as handmade jewellery, organic bodycare products and using logs we find from the ground to create various table decorations.

This blog has been created to show you what we have been making, our ideas, what we are up to in general and what inspires us - that little part of our life filled with rustic treasures.

Herbs growing on the windowsill of the rustic kitchen.  We bought a load on the weekend from the garden center as they are having a bit of a clear out at this time of year.   
They were all bought in handy grow your own packs so here we have our Thyme, Parsley, Basil, Chives, Rosemary and Coriander.  Thyme and Basil are the early front runners in the growing race pushing through after 4 days!  
PS Excuse the pic, taken with phone @ night!
