A Handmade Summer | Slow Living in the Scottish Highlands

Artwork, Prints & More https://laureestephens.co.uk There’s something special about making things with your family. This week I’m embracing a handmade summer in the Scottish Highlands, slowing down to enjoy the simple pleasure of creating together at home. From weaving fragrant lavender wands and making botanical cyanotypes to baking an old-fashioned lemon cake, these are the little traditions that make summer feel magical. Living in the Scottish Highlands has taught me that some of the best memories aren’t made by travelling further—they’re made by slowing down, spending time together, and creating something beautiful from the season around us. If you enjoy slow living, cottage life, handmade crafts, baking, gardening, seasonal living and life in the Scottish Highlands, I hope you’ll enjoy spending the day with us.
