The Fair Isle Studio… My home for the next few weeks. My husband thought I was crazy to want to go off on an adventure by myself for a while… Until I sent him a bunch of pictures yesterday.
I think he gets it now. 🙂
Here’s a look around the house and the studio.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, I’m off to the store {the shop on the island} to stock up on groceries.

Did you rent a car to get around the island or is everything walkable?

There are no car rentals here. Just one grocery shop and that’s it. 🙂 I’ve been walking everywhere.

How far in advance did you have to apply for the studio?
Mavis Butterfield says
Applications are on a rolling basis. There is a spot for December of this year but otherwise the studio is all booked up for 2023. Applications can be submitted for 2024 now though if you are interested.

The UK is brilliant….with wall radiators / towel warmers!
The place looks far better than any studio in PA!
HH will be wanting to join you within a week I bet!
Looks so cozy!
Stove in the den/living room is neat…so many pipes. Gas?

You are on my dream trip! I love the Shetland books and this so reminds me of those books…
I am soooo jealous of the boiler wood stove. I wish we had those in the USA.
Mary Anderson says
Amazing place and a great idea for peace and productivity – if your craft things find you! I think you should also write a novel while there – because – lot outside – it will just write itself… Enjoy and thanks so much for sharing!
Cheryl says
Oh so nice! Soak up all that ambiance! What a wonderful Christmas gift to yourself. This is a trip that you will never ever forget.
Sue S. says
The cottage appears to be painted duck egg blue!! And I have the same comforter cover on my bed!! So cozy and inviting. Thanks for letting us live the fair isle life vicariously through you. Enjoy. Hope you get to meet Rachel.
