We are full Christmas swing at The Red Door with the green and red tissue wrapped gifts flying out the door. Above are some images of our festive windows for this year, including the 'We Wish you a Merry Christmas Decoration' tree full of decorations for you to take home today. Be quick though as they are, as always, very limited. Merry Christmas. xxx
Right about now, we could all do with a bit of soul shopping.... and this Saturday at Christ Church Hall (Holy Corner, Bruntsfield) will the perfect retreat from sometimes soulless High Street.... Check it out between 10 am and 5 pm and remember to bring a tiny, golden £1 coin to support the organisers of this independent festive fair... there is sure to be hundreds of handmade treats to choose from.... and a cheery boost to your Christmas Spirit!

On this very blustery, cold, dark November day (and lets face it, if you are in Edinburgh, don't bother heading out) these lambs wool scarves from Donna Wilson seem extremely appealing. With these new designs and colours just in, its hard to think of anything else.
Just in are theses amazing eco friendly mobiles from fluffyco who have supplied us with some great mini wallets over the years. They have ventured into some lovely things for your home, including these mobiles which can be yours for £40 each. In store and ready to be taken home today.
We have had a lot of boxes arrive this week and one that stood out from the rest was a bundle of goodies from Berlin based label Smil. Creating 'accessories that make you happy', the team from Smil have come up with some wonderful little goodies that would fit perfectly in anyone's Christmas stocking.
Good old Lego for bringing out a working digital camera and mp3 player. This makes Christmas shopping for that hard to buy boy a breeze. Available from Urban Outfitters and other good stocklists.
Love ice cream but after something a little more lasting? Look no further than these great prints from Hello Marine. In store and ready to be taken home today.
I must say that I appreciate a good sarnie - if done right, it can be amazing; done wrong and it can be a soggy mess. Kids can be an even tougher audience when it comes to getting them just right which leads me to introduce funkylunch.com. I was blown over when I first spied these amazing sandwich creations from web designer and sandwich maker Mark who came up with a whole host of incredible sandwich ideas to please his 4 year old sons stubborn taste buds. He managed to win over his son and also his thousands of fans. Some favourite lunches above!
Back in stock are all Gillian Kyle shoppers, totes and teatowels. Available both instore and now online. The perfect Christmas stocking filler.
After flicking through Christmas catalogues and finding this brilliant tricycle, I realised that I would either love to be a kid again or love to have this in an adult size. Complete with streamers and bell, this model would be the perfect gift for any little people you know - that way you can still have a sneaky ride!
It's starting to feel festive here at The Red Door Gallery. New to our ever popular card racks is a variety of quirky, colourful and heartfelt Christmas designs from sunlight on closed lids, John Dilnot and nineteenseventythree.
We are proud as punch here at The Red Door Gallery as one of our wonderful friends Vivien McDermid has won the second annual Observer/Cape Graphic Short Story competition. Congratulations Vivien! 'Paint' is a treat of a tale. Featured in yesterday's Observer magazine the colourful, honest and tender story of motherhood is both beautifully written and illustrated by Vivien. To view Paint in full and to read more about this year's competition and it's well deserved winner go to www.guardian.co.uk/books/comics.
There is always something satisfying about finding an image that makes you feel slightly uneasy. This photo from London based photographer Felicia Honkasalo (via booooooom!) reminds me of the terrifying thriller 'What Lies Beneath' whilst also conjuring up thoughts of serenity and beauty. Oddly lovely!
Some new Eleanor Grosch prints arrived over the last few days including these lovely new designs - which we like very, very much!
The rain is pouring down here on Victoria Street but we have got plenty of great things to cheer up the Grey day. What better way to stay warm this winter and keep a smile upon your face than with one of Donna Wilson's beautifully knitted lambswool scarves wrapped lovingly around!
We seem to have in inundated with boxes of goodies from some wonderful artists over the last few days (back log from the postal strike) so it feels a little like Christmas is starting early this year at The Red Door. One of our favourite arrivals had to be the 4 amazing boxes from Brighton based John Dilnot. We have stocked his cards and screenprints for quite sometime now, but feel super lucky to have a selection of these gorgeous boxes featuring Holyrood Palace and The Isle of Skye to name a few. You really have to pop in to see the beauty of these pieces (which by the way differ slightly from those images above) before they fly out the door. Thanks John.
