Bracelets in the making...

A while back I mentioned a wee Islay related project I was working on.  So here it is.  Rachel from Wild and Magic Islay got in touch looking to make some Islay charm bracelets.  Rachel has brought together a few different Islay makers and here is the result...

The Bracelets themselves and the Islay are made by myself. The lovely green glass hearts and tiny glass whisky bottles are made by Heather Scott and the beautiful wee barrels are made by Thomas Logan. These are exclusive to Whisky for Girls and can be bought HERE or contact Rachel HERE

Jam, Hills and Sea Swimming

What an amazing trip.  I had 10 days over on Islay and it has been absolute bliss, with wonderful weather we really made the most of it and went out adventuring every day...

Early Morning Mist

It's 5:30am and Mum has just woken me.  Whilst everyone else sleeps we quietly dress and find our shoes. A quick gulp from a shared cup of tea and then we are out the back door.

The sun is not up yet but the islands of Mull and Colonsay are silhouetted against a glowing golden sky, the promise of a beautiful day ahead.  We walk and talk quietly as we dip down a hill and in to the hollow filled with mist sweeping down from the lochs on the moor.  This is how I started my first day on Islay.
