Meet the maker Linda Hoskin

Welcome to Country Style Clutter. I am Linda Hoskin and I run my Etsy shop from my small home studio in the beautiful North-East of Scotland, Edzell - a pretty little village at the foot of the Angus Glens.

During the renovation of our 'forever' home I started to create little works of art from scrappy bits of wood and cast off materials I could not bear to throw away. I started to make one off pieces for friends and family....mostly for free! but word soon spread and I decided it was time to get serious and 'Country Style Clutter' was born.

I try to source materials that have had a 'previous life' where possible the hand painted 'plank signs' have so much more charm with bumps, bashes, lines and dents they have aquired along the way (a bit like myself!).
There are however items for which only the best, smooth and perfectly formed wood will do and for that I make no apologies, this will be the recyled wood of the future....we all have to start somewhere!.

I hope you enjoy looking at my work, any suggestions or comments are welcome.
