'The Advent Calender of Wonderfulness' 1: The Hidden Lane Tearoom




Behind the first window is the most beautiful, cosy, creative and scrumptious tearoom in the world. The Hidden Lane Tearoom. If you haven't discovered this gem of a place yet then it is the perfect getaway from the biting cold. It's hidden away down the aptly named Hidden Lane in Glasgow's west end.

The owner, Kirsty, reinvented this cute mezzanined building into a cake grotto! Filled with masterminded cakes, vintage crockery and teas galore, I'm there at least once a week for her tasty deli board scones. She also does high tea! Everything is served on dainty mis-matched crockery and tastes delicious. Some of her vintage teasets are for sale as well as selected work from exhibiting artists and local designers. She also welcomes local artisans and musicians to put on workshops and gigs in a warm environment. So far there's been life drawing, live music and knitting classes. Check it oot!

Advent Calender of Wonderfulness!

Hello Fancy Ones!

I've decided to compile an alternative advent calender to count down to Christmas this year. Each day I will feature a Scottish designer, artist or small creative business that I adore. There are so many wonderful things out there to choose from and probably hundreds more that I am yet to discover, but as of now these are my Advent Calender of Wonderfulness!
