I'm just back from an amazing break in Donegal and feeling quite rejuvenated - it's such a beautiful place with stunning scenery and so peaceful. I try to get there every year and swim as much as I can and had the incredible experience of seeing basking sharks this year. It was something else, they were so majestic in the water, definitely a highlight for me! Photos of some of the places we visited below:

 As it was my birthday too we had lunch at the fabulous Solis on Lough Eske (pictured left) - gorgeous food and a great place for a walk too.
We went swimming every day too, a different beach each day and all of them fabulous.  If you haven't been to Donegal before, I'd really recommend it.
Since I've come back though, I'm definitely feeling Autumn in the air.  It's always been my favourite time of year, the gentle transition from end of Summer into the Winter days - I love the cooler air and the autumn colours. I'm also thinking ahead to the busy season, don't want to mention it too much yet as it's very far from the minds of most people right now. However, when you're a crafter, a lot of planning ahead is needed and I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about the C word ;)

I have one new scent available now - Lemon Mousse. I have yet to make them and test but the smell is fab. I've also tested the White Tea and Sage tin candle - it's a really nice fragrance, quite light but not too sweet. I'd consider it to be a floral fragrance but not one of the heavier ones, just fresh and delicate. This is available from my shop and I will have the Lemon Mousse up there soon also.
