Welcome

We at Rainbow Bucknell are a family selling all sorts of products for your crafty creations as well as various items for your home. Feel free to browse the website to find information about our latest releases, crafting tips, and updates of life around the Rainbow Bucknell home.

About

At our lovely Scottish home, with rolling fields behind us and a small pocket of mini forest to our side, we here at Rainbow Bucknell gather resources Mother Nature provides by hand, and share them with the world though our Etsy store.

As a family, we love being creative and seeing how others can be too, which is why rather than let the unique offerings from our garden go to waste, we decided to sell them online for others to enjoy too. Primarily, we sell pine/fir/spruce cones picked up from our forest floors, flowers pressed the old fashioned way, and potpourri after spending time in second-hand glass jars feeling the full warmth of the sun - when we get it, that is!

Whenever we can, we try to reuse what we already have to be as sustainable as possible, before choosing recycled or compostable products to either assist in our creations or as packaging to send to you! Furthermore, we let nature take its course and do not use fertilisers, pesticides or any other such products in our organic garden. Lastly, we are on a renewable energy tariff and drop our parcels off at a local locker, making the delivery process greener.

We thank you so much for considering our products, we sincerely appreciate you in supporting a local family.

Products

In our Etsy store, we currently sell a small selection of products gathered from our garden, including:

Artwork

In addition, we also create artwork and share this at our RedBubble store, where we sell art prints or the artwork on a number of items ranging from mugs to rugs! These were created over many years and are an expression of freedom and colour, which in part gave to our name Rainbow Bucknell!

Poppies

At 11am on the 11th of November, we remember those lives lost in wars and conflicts. In the United Kingdom, the poppy has become a symbol associated with this day, and we explore more in this post.

Delivery Issues

As we run our online store on Etsy, with no shop front or selling in-person, we are reliant on delivery companies for our products to reach our customers. However, there can be issues along the way...

Wrapping Pressed Flowers and Foliage

As we began our store, there was debate amongst us at Rainbow Bucknell about how to package the pressed flowers/foliage, and how to reach the customer.

About Deliveries

Due to the products we sell, we use either Evri or Royal Mail. In this post we go into detail as to what products use which delivery service and why.

Pine Cones, Fir Cones, or Spruce Cones?

As we began to launch our store, there was a small but significant debate amongst us at Rainbow Bucknell - are we selling pine cones or fir cones?

About Our Packaging

As we try to be eco-friendly, we use some unusual packing materials. In this post, we'll go into what we use, how to best handle the packaging, and how to appropriately dispose of them.
