A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the NMTF organized by Wild Ivy and I took home Scotland’s Young Trader of the year award! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the finals down in Stratford Upon Avon, but congratulations to all the incredible businesses who had the opportunity to be there 🎉

I can’t wait to be back next year ✨💛

The Selkie 🦭

Selkies are a mythical creature found in Scottish and Celtic Folklore. They live as seals in the ocean, but have the ability to shed their skin and live on land as humans.

In a lot of myths, a man would steal a Selkie’s seal skin, so she can never return to the sea and forced to be his wife. Selkies will spend years searching for their stolen skin, so they can return back to the ocean 🌊

Monty python and the holy MacGrail 🏆

I rewatched this movie for the 100th time last night, and remembered I recreated this scene mid photoshoot at the standing stones 😌
