I don't know about you, but I'm always on the look out for new hashtags to use on my Instagram feed. It's a great way for your images to get seen by new people and also a fun way to interact with the creative community on there. I recently came across the #mynestandburrow tag, run by Suzanne of Nest and Burrow. Suzanne creates some amazing woven wall hangings to decorate your home with, and she started this hashtag recently to get folk sharing images of their homes (or nest!) with the incentive of winning a lovely prize.

Suzanne explains: '#mynestandburrow is about the way you lovingly create spaces in your home {nesting} and the resulting magic that provides a nourishing environment for you and your family’s wellbeing. It’s about being inspired by nature, bringing the outdoors in, light, natural materials, as well as a strong interior design ethic that says You!
Use the tag to share your favourite spaces and pockets of your home. The cherished places where you entertain, spend time with family and friends, meditate, create, cook, sleep....or simply just be.'
