Vintage Indigo is coming
I get so excited when we’re about to launch a new collection. Well, excited and nervous/self-conscious in equal parts really. It can be quite a lengthy process developing new products and new collections – at the moment for example I’m working in ideas for Autumn/Winter 2017 already! So it’s always lovely to finally get to…
Some fresh spring photography
I love beautiful imagery – who doesn’t?! There’s something inspiring about seeing a beautifully styled photo that makes you wish you could jump right in and be a part of it. Instagram is perfect for this. I think I’ve professed my love for Instagram many-a-time on the blog before and I’m going to do it…
Egg cup giveaway
This weekend is Easter weekend which, traffic jams aside, is one of the best weekends of the year in my books. Not only is it perfectly acceptable to eat chocolate for pretty much 24 hours solid but more importantly for me it really marks the end of the drab winter months that, lets be honest,…
Pink rhubarb pie for pie week
How absolutely adorable is the pretty pink colour of rhubarb this time of year. Grown in England’s very own curious triangle of the North - the ‘rhubarb triangle’ (where during the months of January to March farmers live in a candle lit world full of bright pink, tasty rhubarb), it’s lovely pink colour and sweet flavour…
Mothers Day Gift Ideas
Kids, it’s that time of year again. Mum’s deserve that extra special bit of love on Mother’s Day because let’s face it, without them none of us would be here today. Whether they are birthmothers, grandmothers, adopted mothers or just somebody that has been a motherly figure in your life - hat’s off to all…
Make us your Facebook favourite
So you may or may not have noticed that Facebook has severely changed the way it shows you content in recent months. Have you ever thought to yourself, “hmmm, I have loads of friends and follow lots of different pages but I’m constantly scrolling through the same old stuff in my news feed’? Well that’s…
Flippin’ eck!
So I know it’s pretty difficult to beat the classic lemon and sugar combo on Pancake Day but if you’re anything like me you’ll be curious enough to give something new a try. Here are 5 recipes from some of my favourite food blogs that look worthy of a little whisk action this Tuesday. Now…
That beautiful stag
The Evolution and Inspiration of Highland Fling Highland Fling originally launched as a small collection of mugs, trays and coasters for winter of 2012. The snuggly warm colour palette and tartan textures were inspired by a chilly trip to a Castle in Edinburgh the previous year, with a pretty vintage floral design thrown in for…
Robbie’s Roast Chicken
I’ve always been a big fan of Burns night, partly because I think any celebration of poetry and the arts should be honored without hesitation, and partly because Scottish single malts and Haggis are two of my most very favourite things. One of the first Romantic’s, Robert Burn’s charming poetry and folk songs include beauties…
Out with a bang
Our first year of fairs ended with a bang last year at the Country Living Christmas Fair back in November! For those of you that couldn’t make it, we had an amazing stand position right at the entrance of the fair. We had our beautiful new handmade rustic shelves, lovely winter foliage from Miss Pickering,…
Christmas Tree Biscuits
I’ve been away from home so much this winter that I just couldn’t find time to make either a Christmas Cake or Christmas puddings. So I’ve had to find some new Christmas baking recipes to give the house that amazing smell that only homemade festive treats can do. This is a recipe adapted from the…
Christmas Giveaway 2015
I genuinely think I enjoy giving gifts more than receiving them at Christmas. I mean, don’t get me wrong, everybody likes getting a lovely present, especially when it’s all wrapped up in pretty paper with bows and ribbons and just so happens to be that lovely fluffy jumper you saw in Vivienne Westwood last month…
Our new British-made Notebooks
Lets talk stationery. I’ve been trying to venture Katie Alice into the world of stationery for quite some time, and after months and months of unsuccessful attempts my enthusiasm was dwindling somewhat. But I refused to call it a day and carried on relentlessly googling until I found what I needed. You know that thing…
The New ‘Pretty Retro’ Collection
The brand new Pretty Retro Collection is coming! We’re going to be launching it on here on Friday 23rd October and to celebrate this we’re going to be giving away one of our fair-trade cotton bags with the first 25 orders on our website! This gorgeous new collection reflects a slight change in style for me with a…
Country Living Christmas Fair 2015
I know it’s a little early to start banging on about Christmas already but I know those organised folk out there will be quietly planning, writing out their shopping lists and penciling in their festive activities! I bloody love Christmas even when it is knocking on your door in September and this year we’re decidedly…
Anna Jones’ chocolate puddings
With the Great British Bake Off in full swing, amateur bakers like myself are taking to their mixing bowls armed with spatulas and measuring spoons in a bid to create a show-stopper bake capable of reducing family and friends to tears. Last weeks bread affair left me hankering for the perfect baguette and I’ve anticipated that this…
Lovely Wilderness Festival
I’m happy to admit that I am a devout festival goer, and if I had that bottomless pocket of cash that so many of us dream of, I would no doubt spend a large portion of mine on a carefully curated arm full of festival wristbands. This year Matt and I were given last minute…
The Katie Alice Eco bag
The postman did one of those mystery knocks on me yesterday where you hear the door go and when you open it there’s nobody there – just a box waiting on the doorstep. After a minute of scratching my head in confusion he arrived with another two boxes, which were full of these little beauties…
Summer mixtape
Last month I went to my second and certainly not my last Glastonbury Festival. What a place! My hat is totally and utterly off to all the people who organise it! People keep asking me what my highlight from the festival was and honestly – I can’t pick one. Without wanting to sound like a…
Katie's Blog
Hello! Welcome to the Katie Alice blog! This little space is where I can keep you up to date with what we’ve been busy doing, as well as new product and collection launches. I also like to throw in the odd recipe, music playlist or competition, and sometimes just a bit of general chit-chat is in order. And almost always with pretty photos... Enjoy!
