Monthly Recap – May

PAM’S PICKS I visited a pop-up shop at Hy Stonehaven with Pam’s Picks, a terrific selection of eclectic hand-picked antique & vintage interior pieces sourced from flea markets and auctions all over the UK & Europe. I particularly loved the vintage fashion artwork and furnishings like this rustic preloved wooden desk. CABIN COFFEE I finally had…

Monthly Recap – March & April

I dropped the ball last month by not including my Monthly Recap, so I have combined the going ons of March and April into this one post. A few treats and trips as well as some new Esty items for sale and FINALLY getting back into my interior sketching! SIX BY NICO I managed to…

Monthly Recap – December

THE FIFE ARMS Started off the month by visiting my favourite place, The Fife Arms Hotel in Braemar. They have it beautifully decorated for December with cosy crackling fires, classic traditional Christmas trees, and festive foliage. SIX BY NICO I have wanted to visit Six by Nico in Aberdeen for a while now having seen the six course menus…

Monthly Recap – November

BARNARD CASTLE This month involved a mini trip down south to Barnard Castle, a town along the bank of the River Tees, in County Durham.

Monthly Recap – October

THE SAVOY The month started off with a fantastic treat, a visit to The Savoy in London. I had been gifted a voucher for Champagne Afternoon Tea a couple years ago, prior to lockdown, so we were finally able to make use of it. Despite growing up and living in London for years I had never actually…

Monthly Recap – September

COPPER DOG This month I finally got to a visit a place not too far from home that has been on my hotel bucket list for some time. We popped over to Craigellachie and the Copper Dog for a scrumptious Sunday roast and it did not disappoint (heads up if you ever visit, make sure you bring your appetite). The hotel…

DORNOCH The Platinum Jubilee weekend was spent in the north of Scotland near the lovely, picturesque town of Dornoch. There were so many celebrations and events going on, and the best bit was finally getting some summer sunshine. Dornoch has a brilliant selection of delicious restaurants, interesting antique and boutique shops as well as stunningly…

THE FIFE ARMS A visitor from London meant scooting over to Braemar to show off and have another nosey at The Fife Arms (any excuse really). A scrumptious Sunday roast and a wander around the hotel for lots of insta snaps, including my favourite nook, the Art Deco inspired Elise’s Bar with the stunning vintage…

Monthly Recap – April

Happy April & Easter This month did not start out great as I unfortunately caught covid, so spent the first couple weeks in bed. Not only did I miss out on a weekend trip to Edinburgh (gutted), I fell behind with some of my work and sketching goals (if you remember last month, I also gave…

In addition to all this disorder,…
