All my jobs are done for 2011 and our bags are packed for the island. I want to wish all my lovely readers and blogging friends a happy and healthy Christmas. I will be back posting again soon in 2012.

Perfect Presents

With James out of the house this morning I had time to sit down in my office and get all our final presents wrapped. This is a much easier exercise without a toddler under foot.

I only have one more job to deliver before the end of the year.

Christmas here we come!

Be Yourself

Me in my hat at the farmers markets in Monte Carlo


This quote really hits home with me. Even as a little girl I have loved hats, in every shape and size. While they come in and out of fashion, I continue to swim against the tide. I'm even know to wear my fedora or wide brim sun hat to work. I'm sure clients find it slightly eccentric but they just make me so happy!

I'm also a big believer in the adage "if you love it, it belongs in your home". Make sure you are not a slave to interior trends. The best spaces are ones full of well loved unexpected items. That's not to say if you do love a trend you shouldn't follow it.

Up Go The Decorations

Well it's the first of December and that means its time to hang the Christmas wreath on the front door. I found this fantastic home made verision over at www.hollyscharmedlife.blogspot.com , if you like it head over for a tutorial on making your own.
