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
