I love these Acrylic Laser Cut Christmas Decorations by Cutture Limited I found these on Bouf a website set up by Alex Griffin to help designer-makers who were being pushed out by the larger retail stores. I love how these decorations are so simple and delicate yet so detailed.

These vintage paper wreaths are made by White Serenade a seller on Etsy where I also sell my mannequins. White Serenade creates recycled, upcycled inspired art. I like the ideas behind these and am always into items that have been recycled from a former life and are now beautiful pieces you want to put into your home.

To finish off today I would like to share these wonderful owl tree decorations by Mika Y who runs the Cuore shop on Etsy. These are wool felt applique ornaments featuring, “Stewart the Owl”. These will make great ornaments to hang on your Christmas tree, or just as a decoration on a door knob, or in a window! View more of Mika’s work.

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.

Shakespeare place settings - how cute!
