Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do, than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!

I’ve been thinking about creating some sort of G

I’ve been thinking about creating some sort of G

I’ve been thinking about creating some sort of Gift Guide for a while, but wanted to do something a wee bit different . . .

Over the past year, I’ve been part of an Insta friends group - together we’ve completed the @me_and_orla Insta Retreat and Instagram Summer School. We’ve been there for each other - liking, commenting, sharing and generally cheering each other on when we’ve needed it the most. Friendships have been formed, and I’ve even managed to meet a couple of them in real life too!

Every single one of them is incredibly talented in their field, and I am proud to call them friends - and I’d use like to say a huge thank you to them all for just being there. So, my gift to them is the gift of sharing - I do hope you enjoy their work . . .

@floriginstudio (Florist) - Flowers, sustainable wreaths, seasonal workshops.

@heitermagazine (heiter - a life & style magazine) - Follow for inspiration on how to create a life that makes you feel good (heiter).

@katmeetsmouse (Pattern Designer) - Passionate about patterns, painting vibrant watercolours is my happy place and unabashedly partial to the colour blue.

@loneowlstudio (Vegan Clothes & Personalised Gifts for Slow Living Nature Lovers) - Simple and classic sweatshirts and t-shirts, minimalist practical gifts, % of every sale donated to animal charities.

(I’m sharing in three parts as my @instagram account seems to be one of the few that doesn’t allow me to post a carousel of more than ten images! 🙄 So do look out for the other posts . . .)

A Winter colour palette suitable for the first Sun

A Winter colour palette suitable for the first Sunday of advent . . . ❄️

“Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake,
Are frosted like a wedding-cake.”
Winter-Time by Robert Louis Stevenson
