May 2010 - BLOG LAUNCH

I WANT TO BE A PAINTER WHEN I GROW UP!

Well - 20 years later I have finally gone back to the old brush and canvas!

I made myself a promise in the hazy days of 1989 (I know, I don't look THAT old!) that I would always paint ... no matter what ... and one day, in my dotage, I'd become a painter. I don't appear to be TOO great at keeping promises, even to myself ... but finally, I've kicked off my painting retraining.

To keep me on track - I do love a bit of pressure - I've started a blog which I aim to update weekly with my latest offerings. Track my (hopefully successful) progress at: http://shoeportraits.blogspot.com/

SAY GOODBYE TO THE OLD MAID! - HIGHLAND MAID CONFECTIONERY & HOME BAKING

An old favourite with Scottish tourist trade, HIGHLAND MAID, has recently been given the Artroom treatment!

We said goodbye to the Old Maid and have brought in a new friendlier Highland Maid, creating a stronger Scottish brand image.

Highland Maid was a popular product, so we have refreshed the existing packaging, bringing it up to date with our new brand, giving a much stronger shelf presence without taking away the essence of the existing Highland Maid style.

Watch out for the new natural cotton bagged baking mixes with swingtags and the chunky hexagonal boxed mini shortbreads.
