I'm back from my trip to Indonesia and I'm happy and excited to announce that Etsy shop is open again! Yay! Thank you to all my patient customers, I'm back with new energy and inspiration and I'm ready to work hard because I understand that the world needs more cute bears and rats in sweaters... That's a fact. So you see, it's a mission to save the world. No biggie.

A Century of Style

A Century Of Style: Costume and Colour 1800-1899 at the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow.

Beautiful exhibition of 19th-century fashion showing all those amazing dresses, embroidery, 

accessories and fabrics! I loved it and could spend all day there. 

I discovered a castle!

I really did! On Google maps first and I was like 'Why I didn't know that there is a medieval castle so closed to Glasgow! And I've never seen it!'
Then I took my bike and and using the 75 cycle route most of the time I went to see the castle.

And there it was, set on the river bank. Apparently Bothwell is Scotland's largest and finest 13th century castle! Not much to see, to be honest, but I liked walking along the walls trying to imagine life there centuries ago.

It was very peaceful place, almost no one there. And there was a very friendly custodian who told me a little bit abut the history.

Where to find amazing vegan recipes?

I'll share with you my favorite blog and Youtube channel with delicious and simple vegan recipes. I go to them for inspiration a lot and I'm never disappointed.

But first let me show you my post lunch snack. I've made hummus today using this recipe. It's super easy and low fat.

Organic baguette rolls from Tapa, my favorite bakery in Glasgow. Freshly made hummus, smoked chipotle salsa from Whole Foods and fresh organic salad from Locavore. It was delish, really worth a blog post ;)

Ok, here are my go to vegan recipes sources.

I could scroll her blog all day long

And Vegan Corner on Youtube
The videos are 2-4 minutes long but thanks to great instruction you know exactly what to do. And they're fanny too.

Bon appetit!
