Advent Wreath




This is our entry for the Advent Wreath Festival at the local church! I made it by cutting out a circle of cardboard, then tracing round it onto the back of this lovely Christmas paper by Solitaire. I scribbled around the inner and outer circles to create more of a look of bushy foliage, then cut out the paper and glued it to the cardboard. I had some paper left over so I cut out some extra robins and pine branches to stick onto the wreath. Lastly, I added a loop of cotton twine to the back of the cardboard for hanging. This would be a great way to recycle your used wrapping paper if it's too nice to throw away. (Paper and twine available to buy at 44)
The lovely people at Solitaire have featured our wreath on their blog here.

White Rabbit Teahouse, Nottingham






Yesterday we were very excited to discover this tiny tea room on a side street in Nottingham. The salt & pepper bunnies, on each table, were so cute and the sails on my windmill teaspoon actually spun around! We had cups of tea & coffee and delicious toasted tea cakes with lots of butter. We'll have to go again to try the lunch menu and the handmade cakes which looked wonderful on glass stands on the counter. Find out more about the White Rabbit Teahouse here.

Fox in the snow...where do you go?


This wonderful wintry card by Jon Klassen for Red Cap Cards reminds me of one of my favourite Belle & Sebastian songs 'Fox in the Snow'. It's available to buy here. It's also featured in Elle Decoration magazine this month.
