Highlanders

 Seems like there is always a new craze. A few years back, it was Gnomes. And now it is Highland Cows!! They are everywhere! On clothes, paintings, kitchen things, cushions, etc. Have you seen them? Do you like them? Here are just a few I have seen in stores.









“A highland cow is a creature stitched from fog, moss, and ancient magic.”

Yes, I've seen them all over too. We have real ones at the farm down the road from us and they are so cute!

oh yes, those highland cows are everywhere. I mean, they're cute but I don't really see the appeal.

Somehow their long fringe and gentle faces make them irresistibly charming on just about anything

I do like the cows with the America sign, Ginny. Since I'm not a collector of knick-knacks, I'd never buy one, though.

Hi Ginny,
I noticed that too, the highlanders are everywhere. ;-)
What is fun, is I have a friend who has the real thing. She has a herd of highlander cows.

Is there a reason for this "craze"??

I really think they are cute. They have such a gentle cartoonish face. I would love to see them in real life.

I am not sure if I have seen them here or not. I wasn't looking.
Are you giving up gnomes?

I haven't seen any. Cute but I wouldn't want one. :)

I haven't seen too many cows out there, but I actually did see a few paintings at Dollar General with cows. Although I don't have too many cows in my home, what's not to love about the cow? The calf's are the cutest. There is a cow farm not far from my home, and I sometimes pass it and see them grazing. They just live a simple slow life, don't they?

Oh yes! I love the coos!
We have a highland cows farm in our area.

I have not noticed any around here, but then I haven't really been looking.

I have noticed trends, it does seem like the industry likes to keep people buying something new. The cows are adorable, but I don't own anything with a cow on it, lol!

Cute to look at but no, I wouldn’t buy one. Now if it was a frog :)

I have one friend that raises them and another who also loves them. I'd be interested to see if they take over the gnome game. Those little gnomes somehow got into every holiday and then some!
