~ { VIC pub/kitchen.... Saint Andrew's.... Scotland } ~

 One of my very favorite parts of traveling Europe...

discovering pubs along the way...

and Saint Andrews had two of mine....

the first being VIC

 Located in an old movie theater...

there is something visually resonating where ever you look in this spacious pub.

 Certainly one of the most exciting views...

the enormous  skeletal chandelier that hangs atop the staircase...

 as well as the collaged wall paper the envelops the entry.

 with something new to read with each pass through.

 I  came back on the look out  for dish towels as napkins...

and have tracked some down to Ikea.

I thought on the trip I would be so inspired by clothes...

but I must admit finding quirky pub interiors...might  just  have been my favorite part.

I truly miss them already!

as always dear friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

....{ Saint Andrews... Scotland}....

 Our final stop....

Saint Andrews...the home of golf.... and so very much more.

My husband, who is a golf course superintendent...
has always wanted to see see the birth place of golf...
so here we are.

After the busyness of city touring....

the calm open and ancient spaces ....

spoke to my soul....

the ancient golf course perched right on the waters edge

speaks to the elegance of the game...

While Jeff golfed I was able to walk the city...

and was so taken with the beauty and haunting history...

literally stumbling down quaint streets....

that open up to castle remains.

To be able to have the luxury of time to just explore .... and feel the past....

 Saint Andrews's...

spoke to my soul....like not other.

as always my friends 

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
