From where I am sitting there are only 58 days left until Christmas…exciting, if not a scary thought….I feel certain that… unlike me… you have already started your preparations…figured out your holiday schemes, thought about the menu and started shopping….Not me….I am still trying to decide on what colours I want to go with this year…. I love, love the decorating side of Christmas and try and have a different, if not familiar, colour scheme each year…. I am probably overly obsessed with every aspect of the embellishing but I do enjoy to co-odinate my home so that all the bits and pieces are simpatico….
I haven’t decided yet on the colour….last year’s silver, white and glass mix was beautiful and I am tempted to repeat that one …it would be easy….but then… the year before… when I went all out with the red and the violet… that was pretty gorgeous too…And right now…I am thinking that these pink baubles I snapped on a recent visit to London could be extra pretty….Picture the gift wrapping extravaganza I could have with those shades….Sande…what do you think?
What I am going to do…to make me focus on the festivities ahead…is start compiling a Christmas wish list for SHOP FRENCH ESSENCE with loads of suggestions for the BFFs in your life…and for the Santa stockings….I still make these for my children every year even though they are well and truly grown up…. Christmas would not be Christmas without them…. So if you need a little inspiration….take a look in the coming weeks…
Are you way ahead on the preparations or are you, like me, still thinking Christmas is a far away place?…xvPS…My selection of Christmas decorations will be on the shop today…..xv
