my favorite time of the year

: )

soft tree novice

they're fun to make!

wreath made by my sis - and one of my most favorite things ever.

what a lucky little postcard to sit in such a pretty spot!

this is stunning!

my favorite time of the year by swallowfield.

i love, love, love unpacking the christmas stuff each year and not *quite* remembering exactly what i'll find in there, plus getting to add little new bits each year. this year is especially exciting because i have developed an abiding love for soft trees.

Fabulous. The stripey trees are really fun, that wreath knocks me out and I'm loving the "merry" peeking out from behind everything.
