The Final Countdown...

It's hard to believe Christmas is only six weeks away, which means we have just over two weeks left before the official countdown begins! I've always liked the idea of creating my own advent calendar and have spent the last few days looking online for inspiration. There are loads of great ideas but this is my favourite so far...

Icing On The Cake

PINTEREST.COM

Lots of my favourite blogs have recently posted about cake bunting, which is the sweetest thing ever! We think it's a great idea for festive feasts like Thanksgiving and Christmas, so have posted below some instructions about how to create your own and also a couple of links to lovely templates! Happy decorating!

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato...

Last weekend Emily cooked up a big batch of Green Tomato Chutney which looks absolutely delicious! She stored it in jars and is keeping it for Christmas presents (we have our fingers crossed that one will appear at Highland Angel HQ!) which got us thinking that it would be a fantastic recipe to share with just 10 weeks until the big day!

But not Russian photographer Murad Osmann - he was quite happy to let his girlfriend guide him around the world and share the results...

Shaken Not Stirred...

It's festival time in Edinburgh which means street food & buskers, cocktails & comedy shows and after-work drinks in the sunshine. These fun flamingo invitations, designed by Amy Moss at Oh Happy Day (www.ohhappyday.com) are perfect to keep in your purse, ready to make impromptu drinks dates when you bump into a friend. They're simple to make - just print, construct and write your details on the reverse! Here's how...

It's A Wrap!

Highland Angel is delighted to introduce our new collection of pure silk scarves! We have two designs available in eight gorgeous colourways, both measuring 100cm x 100cm.

Little Somethings

Every week we search the web for funny and interesting things to share with you and along the way, discover dozens of lovely photographs which are not relevant but too pretty to skip past. I've saved hundreds of quirky and beautiful pictures and decided to share a few today, along with a couple of wonderful blogs if you're in the mood for sweet nothings such as these...
