Welcome to the Christmas countdown

I am feeling very festive this year already and thought it would be fun to do a countdown to Christmas.

I have also roped my good friend Nitesh into strolling round London one night this week (when it isn’t raining) so look out for those pictures to come.

This post is especially for my mum who adores Christmas tree decorations and collects them from wherever in the world she visits.

Tinker Tailor

At my Athena group I have met many inspiring and wonderful women one of which is Caroline Apfel. Caroline established Tinker Tailor this year after 10 years working in the luxury home furnishing and Christmas arena. Tinker Tailor create exclusive and often bespoke collections for high end department stores and heritage site gift shops and are already being sold by Fortnum and Mason.

I saw the decorations at a recent Athena Christmas party and they are great very delicate, intricate and timeless.
