Seasons Greetings

 

 

Today I'm loving this fresh green and white Christmas theme, so natural and simple, perfectly capturing the spirit of a country Christmas. Deck the halls with mistletoe and a real Christmas tree is an absolute must - nothing beats the smell of a fresh pine needles. To add a personal touch to your Christmas decorations - it's nice to have a mix of store bought and homemade decorations but keep the theme simple. Decorate the mantel and Christmas table with real foliage such as holly, ivy, berries and spruce - it won't cost a fortune but it will add a whole new dimension to your table setting. Finally turn the lights down and let candles create their ambient magic.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

 

I've been lucky enough to have had Christmas in New York, London and Paris but I've never had a truly white Christmas where I've woken up in the morning and it's been snowing outside. But I believe with a little bit of imagination you can still create a bit of that magic by having an all white Christmas theme. Mix it back with silver and gold to add that touch of sparkle and you'll almost believe it's snowing!

Shades of Purple & Crimson

 

 

 

Crimson, magenta, purple & pink

is such a vibrant and uplifting colour combination.
I love mixing these shades together
for a true burst of colour.
A fabulous palette
for flowers, decor and table settings.

Rustic Charm

 

 

There is something very charming and quaint

about vintage, rustic and recycled pieces.

They are full of character and personality 

that you don't in find in new pieces.

Garden Joys

 

The joys of a garden are immeasurable.

I get unlimited pleasure and happiness from my garden.

It aids my well being and leaves me with a sense of calm and tranquility.

I particularly love gardens that are lush and green with large expanses of lawn.

I like gardens that are undulating, enchanting, eclectic,

inspiring and unpredictable.
