These also come with a cloth pouch to keep them safe between uses. Ditch the plastic single use bunting and have a special one that can be used for years and years!

There are lots of Cutlery Rolls listed on my page just now.

Each one is made with a pattered outer and plain inner cotton fabric and comes with a bamboo knife, fork and spoon, along with a metal straw and straw cleaner (straws vary between straight or curved). They can be rolled up, secured with the cotton tape and slipped easily into your bag without taking up too much space.

They are great for taking to work, on a picnic or camping or kept in the car for impromptu trips. A great way to avoid using plastic or single use wooden utensils.

The fabric rolls can be machine washed.

You can find them at

Another item on the restock list are the relaxing eye pillows!

These are filled with linseeds (some with added lavender coming soon) to give them a weighted feel.

Lie back and place the pillow over your eyes to help you deeply relax.

They are great to use just before bed or at the end of a yoga class or massage.

For added relaxation place the pillow on a radiator for a few minutes to warm before use.

Only a couple available just now but more coming soon!

There are currently a few reusable face pads in stock on my NuMonday website. They are next on the list for restocking!

Can be bought on their own or along with a wash bag and storage tin.

Use in place of cotton pads to remove make up and wash you face using your normal cleanser. Rinse under the tap and pop in a wash bag, was at 30 degrees and then reuse

One small step in reducing single use waste.

To shop follow the link below or in my bio. There are lots of other lovely items to browse there too.

In an effort to do a bit better at the social media/online side of Wren & Thistle I am working on some new photos and thought a wee reintroduction was in order.

Wren & Thistle is a mix of useful accessories and reusable items, all handmade by me and whilst working alongside my freelance job in Costume for Film/TV/Theatre/Concerts.

First up are my reusable face pads and face cloths. Made from a beautiful soft bamboo towelling fabric on one side and pattered cotton on the other, it’s a chance to ditch the cotton pads and face wipes. These can be used with your usual cleanser to clean off make up and wash your face and then can be popped in the wash and reused again and again. (Face pads should be washed in a laundry bag ..a redesign of my ones will be coming soon)

These will be listed soon on my NuMonday page, but until then can be found in The Leith Collective in Fort Kinnaird or Livingston.

One of the wonderful jobs I got to be a part of at the end of last year.

Here's your first look at California Schemin', the directorial debut of
James McAvoy, starring BAFTA Award nominee Samuel Bottomley and one of 2024's Rising Stars Scotland, Séamus McLean Ross!

🎙️ In the late 90’s, Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd had their musical ambitions consistently ridiculed for having the ‘wrong’ accents, so they went for broke and reinvented themselves as Californian rappers.

California Schemin’ follows the duo as they re-recorded their own tracks with fake accents and turned up in London claiming to be an established duo on the California scene as well as childhood friends with Eminem. They quickly bagged themselves a record deal, a hefty sum in advances, and an appearance on MTV…until it all came crashing down.

📚 California Schemin’ is based on Gavin Bain’s autobiography of the same name, which was later re-printed as Straight Outta Scotland. The story was also adapted for 2013 documentary The Great Hip Hop Hoax.

Currently in post-production, the film was picked up by Studiocanal for release in UK & Ireland. Bankside Films are handling international sales, while UTA Independent Film Group is repping North America, and will be showing a promo at the forthcoming EFM.

California Schemin’ is produced by Danny Page of Homefront Productions and Michael Mendelsohn of Patriot Pictures, alongside Paul Aniello of Tartan Bridge and Simon Kay. The film is produced with funding from the National Lottery through Screen Scotland and Mendelsohn’s Union Patriot Capital affiliate is financing the film production.
