A Wee Bit of Sicily (With Sunshine, Snacks & Inspiration) 🍋

Just back from a little jaunt to Sicily—and yes, I’ve brought back the usual: a sunburnt shoulder, a full camera roll, and a head full of ideas.

I thought you might like a nosy at a few highlights—only the good ones, promise! No 300-photo slideshow here. Just a few moments that got me feeling inspired, full of joy (and, briefly, pastry cream).

👇 Have a scroll and let me know—have you been to Sicily? Planning a summer break? Or just dreaming of one? I'd love to hear.

Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina

📸 One seriously pretty square

This was in Taormina—a perfect mix of faded peachy walls, clock towers, and palm trees doing their thing. I loved how relaxed it felt… and yep, I may have mentally colour-matched it to some fabric ideas.

Beach Vibes at Isola Bella

🏖️ Peak parasol chaos

Rainbow umbrellas, warm sea, people watching galore, I was in my element. It reminded me that colour and joy don’t have to be tidy or perfect. Sometimes they’re suncream-splattered and brilliant.

The Cannolo That Disappointed Me

🍰 Looks 10/10. Taste? Meh.

Everyone raves about Sicilian cannoli like they’re life-changing. So of course I queued, photographed, and took the first bite expecting fireworks. It was… fine. Bit sweet. Bit ricotta-y. Bit not-for-me. But I had to try one—when in Sicily and all that. At least the photo’s pretty!

☀️ Fancy some summer vibes without the flight?

I’ve popped together a little summer collection full of colour, fun, and good vibes, perfect if you’re dreaming of your own sunshine escape (even if it’s just to the garden with a cuppa).
