Frosty the snowman

I came home today to find a little white man in our back garden....


Grandma and Max had been hard at work.....


Max being a busy bee.....


View from our garden.....


I *heart* the snow!



FYI - Don't go anywhere near a Waitrose today! I was queueing for 45 mins!

Going crackers!

Good morning all!
Here are a few pics of my customised crackers and napkins.
Still a work in progress, but getting there!




I picked up a set of alphabet stamps in Paris, so everything is being stamped right now!
How are your Christmas preparations going?

A little window into my Paris

Ho hum.
Back from our mini break in Paris.
We had a great time. It was mainly ALL about the food and keeping warm!
Eating copious amounts of rich food does actually keep you quite warm, as does drinking vin chaud and chocolate chaud mmmmmmm......
I feel like I may have put on about 10 kg!
Plus a few other pics of the wintery gorgeousness.....

Twinkle twinkle little star

Day one, Paris.
Visit to Le Petit Atelier.......

Their Christmas window looked warm and inviting.

I just had to buy this little house, it's a bell! So cute!


Sadly they had sold out of these Owls. I reeeeeally wanted an owl!

Tomorrow we head to Merci.
Nite nite.

Winter Wonderland

Last night we headed to the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park.
I loved it almost as much as Max!

Here's the boy himself having a whale of a time on the carousel.....

Perfectly perfect Christmas bunting

Could you imagine anything more wonderful than receiving this tiny beautiful matchbox.....


Opening it up to find.......


Miniature Christmas bunting!


Oh so perfect! I am in love with this idea from Lobster & Swan.

Or how about vintage green Christmas tree bunting......


Decorating your fireplace with bunting.......


Definitely decorating your windows!


Wow, I am inspired again. The sewing machine is coming out tonight!

I'm not THAT hard to buy for!

Dear Richard,

This year I think we should make more of an effort with our Christmas presents.
I promise not to buy you any more remote controlled toys, if you promise not to buy me any more electrical gadgets.
I'm really not that hard to buy for. Infact, you don't really even need to leave the house.
All these lovelies below can be bought online and delivered, easy peasy lemon squeezy.

First up please have a look at Anthropologie for this amazing necklace.....


these pretty earrings.....


and these MUST HAVE (as in I must have them!) lounge pants!



Then please direct your mouse to the Toast website for a sexy silk robe....
and matching knitted socks.


Just so you know, I am majorly in love with this quill necklace from Rust....




If you are thinking along the lines of a joint pressie, which is also an 'investment piece' (ie costs A LOT!!!) this Vivienne Westwood Squiggle rug could fit the bill....


I've heard good things about this book, so this could be a good stocking stuffer pressie.....


Any kind of cashmere/wool type blanket would go down a treat......


This is the nail polish I was telling you about the other day. I know you weren't really listening at the time, but please pay attention now.
Yes it's turquoise.


Anything Rob Ryan would put a big smile on my face.....



and if all else fails I would LOVE some more of my signature scent!

Merci beaucoup! Hope this helps honey. Now let's see your wish list!
