    {AD} I feel as if I had opened a book and found ro {AD} I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and beloved, between its leaves." {L.M. Montgomery} ~ Over their 150-year history, @penhaligons_london have mastered the art of bottling magic. Close your eyes and Elisabethan Rose will transport you to a beautiful rose garden on a summer’s day, a gentle breeze and a hint of history in the air. I can’t tell you how much I love this scent. Its soft but strong, delicate yet regal - a rose with a thorn. Fit for a Tudor queen, and little old me! ☺️ If you could transport anywhere through a magic potion bottle, where would it be? ~ PS. Happy 150th birthday, Penhaligon’s! Wishing you many more years of magic making 🥀✨
    “And yet the place establishes an interest in pe “And yet the place establishes an interest in people’s hearts; go where they will, they find no city of the same distinction.” {Robert Louis Stevenson} ~ This month marks ten years since I first moved to Edinburgh and fell in love with its cobbled streets and beautiful buildings, its shifting light and moody magic. I still can't predict the weather and there are corners I'm left to uncover, streets still to wander, but the whole city murmurs with memories and I love it more now then I think I ever did. Happy anniversary, Edinburgh! 🌿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    “The wilderness of books in which she could wand “The wilderness of books in which she could wander where she liked, made the library a region of bliss to her.” {Louisa May Alcott} ~ Library of dreams 📚📖 Would quite happily curl up here and read away the weekend. Anyone care to join me? I’ll pop the kettle on ☕️✨
    “Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The “Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.” {J.K. Rowling} ~ Harvest time 🍎 Watching the seasons slowly shift gives me so much joy. I love the subtle changes, a hint of crispness in the air, the occasional crimson leaf underfoot. And then there are the undeniable bursts of autumn, like this beautiful city-centre orchard fit to burst with apples! 🍂 ~ PS. I know I’m a day late with this quote, but I won’t tell if you don’t 🙈
    “You make kingdoms and castles on your own.” { “You make kingdoms and castles on your own.” {Stephan Jenkins} ~ Playing princess at the beautiful @abbotsfordscott 👑🏰🌿 ~ PS. Hello September, I’m so happy to see you! 🍃🍂
    “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” {A. A. Milne} ~ Paid a visit to the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town (quite literally!) 🌿💙 This city has my heart - for this, and for a million other tiny moments of magic.
