Oh, my darling

My Darling Clementine has a great collection of Christmas cards this season. I love the bold colors and imagery while still feeling overtly festive and joyful. A perfect twist on the traditional images of the season. And it comes in wrapping paper!

They also designed a seasonal "treat" as they call it for the Tate Gallery in London as part of their Designer Christmas Cards range. You can check the special editions out online at the Tate shop.

Check out their website to see a range of their designs - for Christmas and beyond.

Spruce in a Bottle

I have a deep love for terrariums in all forms. These sweet ornaments from Etsy seller One Gift One World are the perfect Christmas adaptation, and the added hint of spruce essential oil is a perfect touch to fill all your senses. While these are sold out on her Etsy site, she has a series of other beautiful items that would make a perfect handmade gift for friends and co-workers. Plus, there is the added bonus that a portion of her proceeds go to charity! An all around giving win.

Deck the Halls

The Martha Stewart craft fair had some wonderful vendors, and I'm looking forward to posting more about them! I am getting those together and will post in the coming days and weeks.

This past weekend I got all the Christmas put up in the apartment and finished some simple, handmade decorations--all of which make me smile when I get home in the evenings. (I will post those here at some point as well.) But, in the meantime, I've found some inspiring Etsy items for Christmas decorations that I will be sure to file away for next year - and get a better headstart on the decorating front!

Above is one of my favorites from Etsy seller Bookity, a beautiful Shakespearian garland. It would look magical draped over a mantle or a thick Christmas tree with little twinkling lights. I love the scale of the pendants and the detail of the grommet at the top. Simple and lovely.
