Sarah MacDonald - Colm Cille Crafts~
Sarah runs a busy B&B on Iona... www.shorecottage.co.uk
When she's not making beds and scrambling eggs Sarah produces a range of handmade cards.

The original range of cards were all blank greeting cards with a Celtic or Seashore theme. These cards remain very popular as they can be used for any occasion. Sarah has now broadened her range to include 'Special Occasion' cards such as 'Baby Congratulations', 'Moving House' and numbers for birthdays and Anniversaries.

Sarah, along with her father Colin, have always been interested in collecting and polishing stones from Iona - particularly Iona greenstones or marble. We currently produce polished Iona Marble Keyrings and pairs of Iona Marble Amulets.~~~304~360~~
