Handmade in Israel

I’m so pleased to share that my blog post about our recent trip to Prague is being featured this week on ‘Talking About It Tuesday’! 🎉

We had a wonderful time exploring this beautiful city, with its fascinating history, stunning architecture, colourful streets and wonderful art and design. I’ve really enjoyed putting together my posts about our trip and sharing some of our favourite moments.

New on my blog! Prague - I've got so much to write about and so many photos to share from our Czech Republic adventures, so I’m going to spread them over a few posts. This first one takes you around Prague itself – a beautiful city full of history, fascinating architecture and, of course, its famous hundred spires. 🇨🇿

I’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Czech Republic, and while I was away I had a lovely little surprise waiting for me!

The papercut picture I made for Annabelle & Jonathan was featured on "Busy Monday" over at "A Pinch of Joy". It was so nice to discover that my work was still being shared while I was off exploring!

Now that I’m home, I have lots of photos to sort through - and plenty of gorgeous Czech towns, castles, villages and scenery to share with you. 🇨🇿📷

So expect quite a few Czech Republic posts coming your way! 😉
