a scottish adventure

This weeks post is very different for us. We thought that it would be nice to share the things that we do and enjoy to make our blog that little more personal and varied. So last week we both took some well deserved time off work. Myself (Holly) decided to book a little break away to Edinburgh. I had never visited Scotland and I wanted to go somewhere new and exciting. I thought Edinburgh would be a good city to explore and I was not disappointed. 

We visited art galleries, museums, (which had free admission) the zoo, the castle and explored the shops and high street. Whilst exploring the historic castle it even snowed (the first snow of the year for me). We stopped for countless hot chocolates as the weather was very wintery and had to buy ourselves a woolly hat to keep warm. But I think visiting during the Autumn months adds something more magical and special to the whole experience (probably because the shops were adorned with Christmas decorations.)

I defiantly want to go back and explore more of Scotland's heritage and beautiful landscapes (maybe next year). I hope you like the photos.

adventure is out there

Slogans and quotes have had a huge influence in homeware over the last few years. Its a personal and interesting way of adding a positive and individual touch to a home. 

If you are a keen adventurer or lover of the great outdoors then you may want to add this theme of quotes into your home. Filtered, Instagram inspired photos combined with simple handwritten typography, create graphic and inspiring quotes that would make any one of us want to pack our backpack and go out on an adventure (ourselves included).

Its all about bringing the outdoors indoors and bringing ourselves closer to the beautiful scenery and iconic landscapes that our world has to offer. Its a positive reminder for us all that there is so much out there for us to see and explore. Beautiful sunsets and picturesque scenery seem to personify this trend, with the images remaining photographic and realistic. 

It doesn't all have to be quotes you could incorporate other elements of nature and the idea of exploration. Adding animal inspired pieces could inject a sense of fun to this outdoors inspired theme.

Here are a few pieces we have found that we feel would motivate any one of us to embrace our sense of adventure.
