We have been workin' hard the past few weeks to get things wrapped up here in the studio and getting the new Spencerian for Beginners course cleaned up to start in just over two weeks {psst! you can still enroll in the course via the link in my profile!} all to prep for our vacation to SCOTLAND! - @lyslaw & I are heading to Scotland with our mom & her bestie for a girl's trip to see all the castles you can fit into a 12-day period. Our mom has been talking about this trip for at least four years and we finally decided about two years ago that we'd go for it for her 65th birthday this year. - We leave this Saturday, but shop orders will continue to ship as usual, and Caroline will be holding things down at the studio while we're gone. We are so grateful to have a team in place allowing us to take a real break...though I'm pretty sure we'll be clogging up your stories with the scenery!! - We'll be visiting Glasgow, Oban, Portree, Inverness, Edinburgh and the drives between and around, so please feel free to leave your restaurant & sight-seeing reccs in the comments below! {photo by @theslowtraveler}
