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.

Rustic Treasures

We have had some time out (thanks in part to a rather dodgy tooth extraction…thank heavens for clove oil) recently and it has given us a bit of time to think about the upcoming craft fairs that we will be doing.

We have decided to really focus on the natural bodycare products and will be working frantically to get some new items going, as always I will keep the ideas posted on here. 

I think the Rustic Treasures name may change to something a little more organic and spa related, everything I think of has been taken so far though :(

Base ingredients for our organic oatmeal, brown sugar and honey scrub. 

We add olive oil, coarse sea salt, Vitamin E.  We will also add essential oils but in all honesty, the scrub smells fantastic without an additional scent!

Simple to use: Scrub into skin for a couple of minutes, thoroughly rinse and then pat dry.
