pure ceramics

I really like white ceramics - there is something so pure and clean about them. Here are a few samples of some of the beautiful pieces that are out there right now - they're so stunning that they make me jealous that I can't create these pieces of art myself!

Jo Davis Ceramics is an exquisite example of how such a simple material can be used to create the most elegant sculptures that will enhance and add beauty to your home.



I really adore these cute pieces of pottery from Art Mind. I think they are so sweet and quite ingenious in their simplicity.



And just so I've mentioned Christmas today.... West Elm have these beautiful ceramic owls as part of their Christmas decoration range!

the art of wrapping

It's a little known fact that the wrapping of a christmas gift is as exciting as the gift itself... well maybe not but it is important! It's also becoming more and more popular to avoid the generic christmas wrapping found in supermarkets and the high street to opt for buying more creative and unique wrapping accessories that add some extra sparkle and personalization to a gift.

I discovered these gift tags whilst looking at the blog of the designer and think they are absolutely gorgeous {so gorgeous in fact that I think I would struggle to give them away}. They are by Marley and Lockyer and I can't help but marvel at how adorable they are... they would definitely add that little something extra to a Christmas gift



If you are looking something modern and sleek then short grass designs have the gift tags for you! These beautiful letterpress gift tags are simple and sophisticated not to mention an absolute bargain.



And last, but definitely not least are some gorgeous gift tag designs by Amy Moss. These little gems are free to download and are just lovely!

a frosted christmas

One of the best things about Christmas is shopping for new decorations! Every year I trawl through the shops and the web trying to find another couple of those 'special' baubles to add some extra glitz to my tree! I'm a firm believer that a good decoration collection takes years to put together so if you're anything like me, you will have found yourself committed to a particular theme and then salivating at all the trinkets and ornaments that do NOT go with your colour scheme... don't get me wrong I absolutely adore my tree; think traditional red and gold, train sets, stockings, candy canes and gingerbread houses. I do however covet the silver sparkles of a frosted tree. Cox & Cox have a beautiful range of decorations this season which go so well with the abundance of snow and frost we're having this year:



Another website which has some beautiful decorations is Velvet Brown - I recently discovered this site and love pretty much everything they sell!
