Will you be looking forward to writing your own novel in the near future? 😁

Such a cute Bookshop filled with such interesting looking Books! Thanks for sharing another Short yet Sweet wee interlude Shawna! Blessings to you!

Such a cosy bookshop and lovely wee village

Lovely bookshop 😊

Edinburgh 💫💙

Im watching from the west coast of scotland, your vlogmas in the middle of august 2024. Its freezing, raining and windy outside so they seem like the perfect videos to watch. Im thouroughly enjoying them.

Very cozy 😇

Cozy video, thank you.

Love the silk dress. I watched a programme recently about Agatha Christie. I might try to find some of her books. Thanks for a great vid.😊

Would be great to see a charity shop focus on Portobello and Morningside. I work in China but when I return home each summer, I enjoy a browse in the charity shops of those two areas. I love watching your channel! Helps with my homesickness :)

A woman after my own heart ☺ You cant beat a good charity shop ☺

Hi Shawna. I will be moving to edi for uni and would love if you could give some tips on how and where to shop cheap but with decent quality

Return of the Charity Shop Hauls! 🙌 I love these videos of yours so much. Everything from the backstory on the cute KLM houses to seeing you showcase your dresses to hearing your thoughts on the books, it’s all so enjoyable 😍 It truly is a treat Shawna, thank you for sharing it ❤

The elastic in the polka dot dress is called shirring

These KLM houses are big collector items . Great choice of dresses.Thank you for Scottish book recommendation. Hopefully I get a chance to read it.

That is a great silk dress. Nice finds!

Your lavender polkadot dress is beautiful on you, and you really suit that color! Love those cool tones on for brunettes

1:04 owhh but it's a great outfit set though 💯💯 * _have been watching your latest charity haul video more than twice. I dont know why, but I think it's just very engaging to watch_

❤❤❤😘😘

Some lovely finds. The silk dress is beautiful

I have a denim jacket but never wear it because i dont think i can pull off the whole double denim look. You hit the jackpot with the dresses , the fit and style suits you.

The charity shop haul looks amazing. Looking forward to you going to other neighbourhoods.

Loovley, thats a nice wee haul! 🎉❤

Beautiful style Scotland 🎉🎉🎉

My daughters took me to the Tattoo for my 65th birthday in 2017. The experience of a lifetime.

I'm just in Scotland now, in Edinburgh to visit the big parad and show tomorrow, it's a present to my selves on birthday. Its a historish and beautiful city, lot to look at...Love it! ❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤

Nice

What a great view you had of the tattoo 😊

This is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Definitely going on my list of places to visit someday! I would love to spend a day painting, reading, or writing in the gardens there :-)

That was very fun Shawna- thanks- and yes Elif Shafak is a fine writer, I recently read her book The 40 Rules of Love. Thanks for taking us to the tattoo! from your California Nana

Great timing, I'd recently caught up on your videos and then a new one comes out 😊. That looked like an excellent show, thanks for sharing. How did you go with the Loop earplugs? I recently got a pair of them and will be tyring them out properly in 2wks for a concert. Unfortunately due to going to lots of loud concerts in my teens & 20s I have tinnitus. Not fun. Oh! And I know just what you mean about packed trams. Here in Melbourne, trams are major transportation and it's so uncomfortable when they get full. On the trains too. I was making my way home the other week, and punters from an AFL game were coming out so it got crazy-full. Had people knocking into me constantly and some guy's armpit 2inc from my face. No thanks! Great to see another video. I have a bit of a busy mind at the best of times and these videos have a soothing effect 😊.

Wow Shawna, such an awesome opportunity! The Military Tattoo looked incredible, and it was so much fun getting your vantage point and perspective 🙌 Gosh, thank you for sharing that. Also, the rest of your video was pure delight as well 😊 I particularly enjoyed your reset in your flat after the unfortunate tram ride. It’s wonderful joining you, and I hope you’re doing well! 🥰

I love Abbotsford, I've been there a month ago... the house is impressive, esp. the library, and the gardens just beautiful ❤

What a fantastic view of the Tattoo. It's never been on my radar before, but it looked fascinating, thank you! It was equally interesting to witness, for the first time, a slightly world-weary/hangry Shawna instead of your usual Zen self! 😄 Since you mentioned Malaysia: if it's not too invasive of your privacy, I'm sure many of us would be so interested in a deep dive on your childhood there - how you navigate both cultures etc.!

😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

😍 Thank you!

Getting the press pass was a great idea, judging by the view you had the best seat/stand in the house. The morning of the thunder and lightning had the most beautiful sunrise with all the shades of pinks, purples and reds , it's one benefit of being out and about at the back of 5am is seeing the sunrise over Edinburgh.

Wow! That was awesome Shawna! Brilliant! The Tattoo looked so exciting with the Castle all lit up like that & surrounding everyone. Along with all the Military Bands, Dancers & especially the Pipers in their resplendent Kilts & finery! The Bagpipe music is my absolute favorite though! Hands down! Especially when the Pipers played Scotland the Brave. Marching up & down in rank & file as they do! Spectacular! The lighting at the Tattoo is also truly spectacular! What a thrilling extravaganza! I loved it! Your filming & footage was outstanding here as well. Especially when you went upstairs & got to film all the Pageantry from high above like that. That was also really spectacular! I also loved it when you showed the Pipers piping out of the Tattoo at the end & back along the Streets of the City.What a stirring Exit to end the Tattoo! I really wish I could have been there! However, your sharing your wonderful experience there made me feel like I was. I am deeply trusting that I will be there in Edinburgh very soon, God willing, & then I too will be strolling down the bonnie Streets of this magical City as well. Then, when that day comes, I will also be so thrilled to be able to climb up the Hill there to visit the magnificent Edinburgh Castle & take in the breathtaking views from the esplanade. As well as, be so privileged to enjoy the amazing Tattoo with all the other folks there. Woo hoo! I can't wait for that day! Truly! Thank you Shawna for sharing this thrilling experience at the exciting Edinburgh Tattoo! Blessings to you!

I'd love to see the Edinburgh Tattoo one day. I watched another video and the march out looked fantastic too. Glad you had fun.☺

Hey there Shawna! I don't know if you know haha but I believe Elif Shafak was/is in Edinburgh for the Book Festival (quote me if I'm wrong 😅). Anyways, I'm glad you had so much fun at the Edinburgh Tattoo! 😊

The Edinburgh Tattoo looks amazing. I love military bands. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

When I was in Topping and Co I was offered a coffee by a bookseller, it was quiet, I didn't realise it was a thing. Thought she was just being kind offering her own brew, I said no, I'm ok thanks. Is it free ?

What a feast for the eyes ☺

Beautiful ❤️

This is so mesmerising❤

Incredible! A truly magical night indeed! You are so blessed to have been there at the Military Tattoo right at the Castle. That's my dream! It looks amazing! I can't wait for your full Video! Thank you for this wee taste of the exciting Tattoo & for the news of the full video to look forward to! Have a lovely day Shawna!

So nice and pleasant. I always like your shot composition. And it was so nice seeing that lovely little cat, it's so happy.

Your videos are so soothing. This is a great look at Dunfermline, somewhere i've been considering moving to when i eventually get to Scotland. I'm looking at areas that aren't in the city proper, but are a reasonable commute. Looks lovely there.

You have to look up when you're in Glasgow. We have some fabulous buildings. 👍🏻

Cloud spend an afternoon, searching the books 📚 especially when it is raining outside , and cosy and warm inside ❤
