    "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." {Norman Vincent Peale} ~ Hello December ✨ Usually, at this time of year, Edinburgh's streets are filled with people. The Christmas markets would be in full swing and there'd be an inescapable sense of hustle and bustle. It's different this year. Quiet, refined, still. But there are still sparkly lights and twinkling trees and, personally, I think we need the light they shine in the darkness more than ever. Happy first day of advent, everyone! Wishing you all light and more than a little sparkle this season ✨
    {GIVEAWAY CLOSED} You can never get a cup of tea l {GIVEAWAY CLOSED} You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” {C.S. Lewis} ~ {Ad-giveaway} Happy Sunday, you lovely lot! I’ve got a really special giveaway to share with you today. I’ve teamed up with @penhaligons_london to give away two bottles of my favourite Penhaligon’s scent, Empressa. It’s a warm, lustrous fragrance and I just adore it. See below for how to enter! ✨ ~ follow me and @penhaligons_london ~ comment below and tell me which literary character would love this fragrance! (I think Austen’s Emma would adore it.) ~ UK only this time I’m afraid due to shipping restrictions {Giveaway closes on Tuesday 1st December at 7pm UK time. Two winners will be selected at random and will receive a bottle of Empressa each. This giveaway is not sponsored by or associated with Instagram in anyway.}
    “It was November—the month of crimson sunsets, “It was November—the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds and deep, sad hymns of the sea.” {L. M. Montgomery} ~ Dunnottar Castle at sunset.. a sight I’ve always longed to see and still can’t quite believe is real 🌊✨This rugged fortress has to be one of the most evocative, romantic, dramatic castles in Scotland. Standing (safely!) on the cliffside, taking it all in, felt like stepping into a gothic novel, a chapter of Game of Thrones, and an episode of Poldark - all at the same time.
    “Life is easy to chronicle but bewildering to pr “Life is easy to chronicle but bewildering to practise.” {E. M. Forster} ~ {ad} My name is Georgina and I am a notebook addict. I adore them. I have one on the go at all times, filled with to-do lists, scribbled notes, quotes, the occasional burst of inspiration. So I was over the moon when @atelier_rosemood_uk got in touch about their new range of personalised notebooks 📚🖋 ~ If, like me, you’re picky about your notebooks, you can choose from a wide range of designs and paper options - you can even use your own photographs! I fell head over heels for their exquisite foiled lettering and designed a few featuring my favourite quotes {swipe to see more!} ~ These notebooks really would be the most stunning gift - personal, thoughtful and more than a little special. Get your orders in quick though as the Christmas rush is already on! As a little bonus, “georgina2020” will get you 10% off photo books, prints, calendars and notebooks until 30th November ✨
    “I am made for autumn... The low slanting light, “I am made for autumn... The low slanting light, the crisp mornings, the chill in my fingers, those last warm sunny days before the rain and the wind. Her moody hues and subdued palate punctuated every now and again by a brilliant orange, scarlet or copper goodbye. She is my true love.” {Alys Flower} ~ Clinging tight to the last of the autumn leaves 🍁🍂 My favourite season passed so quickly this year but I'm so grateful that I got the chance to see some more of Scotland in all its golden glory... particularly this gem, a castle fit for a fairy queen! ✨🏰
    “Autumn writes her own poetry, we are merely obs “Autumn writes her own poetry, we are merely observers.” {Terri Guillements} ~ People watching in the prettiest city 🧡✨🍁 Edinburgh has been cocooned in a thick blanket of fog today. It’s misty and moody and really quite magical. Hope you’re all having a lovely start to the week ☁️🍂
