Our shop is now closed for Christmas, anything ordered after today will be dispatched in January. I'm feeling pretty exhausted working 16 hours a day this whole week. But also very pleased and grateful for all the people out there supporting our shop and my work. I leave you with some pretty people and interesting interiors.

have a lovely weekend!

A. had her first nursery Christmas play yesterday, she was very nervous and didn't want to do it. I felt so sorry for her...I can't wait after very busy month to spend more time with her next couple of weeks. Like any other working mum I question myself and feel guilty a lot. But it's just so hard to find the right balance... isn't it?

Christmas inspiration

 

Are you planning to do some Christmas decorating this weekend?  I was initially drawn to white Christmas tree, doesn't it look lovely, all white on white? or no tree at all, just one large twig? tree on a a wall (from masking tape or lights)? But in the end we are getting classical green one, A. can't wait...Couple of weeks ago I said about me being very organised this year, but since then I have not really done anything, so hopefully I will have time this weekend to do some decorating and buy few presents. What about you? any special theme in your home this year? too early? I hope I'm not stressing you out too much:)

in post yesterday

Some days just have better starts then others. When you open your eyes and see a rainbow, when a postman brings nice packages...Don't you just love getting post? Yesterday I received few lovely surprises. One from Dawn who is very sweet lady behind this blog, she takes beautiful photos and made calendar for next year. And she sent me one:) Thank you! Dawn started selling posters for children this year and next year will be adding photographic gift tags and cards. So watch this space! 

And then there was a card from Hearts Delight ( Wine Tasting&Auction which takes place every year in Washington, benefiting American Heart Foundation). I sponsored them with gift frames last year and this year they used one of my pictures for their save the date postcard....that makes me happy...

have a nice day!

our advent calendar

Over the weekend I finished this advent calendar mainly for Anya, who is 3, but also for my two step sons when they come to stay with us. Every envelope contains 3 chocolate coins plus small surprise for A. Stickers, beads, hair clips, crayons etc. I can't wait for her to start opening it. Boys are already 13 & 17 and although they didn't want to miss the chocolate, Christmas is not such a big deal for them anymore. But Anya loves it. We wrote a letter and drew a picture for Father Christmas yesterday, left it  by fireplace last night and to her surprise it wasn't there this morning! It's all getting exciting again through her little eyes...
