Christmas recap

Chez nous, Christmas morning started on a happy note, with an excited DS dragging his stocking into his parent's bedroom.. his sweet anticipation of all good things to come was infectious.

Having not had much time this year to prepare for Noël, I was very glad to have made our Christmas pudding back in November (recipe to be shared when making it next year). DH did a great job choosing a beautiful tree while I was away, and I was happy to have found a place to stock up on tree candles, as they can be difficult to get here.

Accessorised a black shirt and a long taffeta skirt very simply with a new black MT fox fur collar, held in place by a Farandole necklace.


I hope everyone enjoyed a blessed and merry Christmas and holidays!

Mistletoe

Mistletoe is a Christmas essential to me, but being so far behind this year, I thought I would probably have to do without. I felt so lucky when discovering a small stall selling a heap of bunches at our local market yesterday.


Capsule pieces: black jeans, black roll neck sweater, combined with a light taupe coat
Shoes: black Jumping boots
Accessories: Aux Pays des Epices 90 Carré, black Clic bracelet, black Birkin, black MaiTai Collection fox fur collar
Scarf tying method: five loop method


Wishing everyone a blessed and joyous Christmas and holidays x

Back home

My deep and heartfelt thank you to all who left comments or sent messages of support while I was away. Your warm words and kind good wishes gave me comfort in the very sad times I have had lately. As some of you know already, I lost my mother last week.

We were scarf twins on the 'Présentation de Chevaux'. The warm and sumptuous golden-yellow glow of my mother's CW suited her so very well.

Whereas I was attracted to the storm-grey issue, which came out about 15 years later

The way the different colouring changes the atmosphere of the design,

reminds me of how all things that are passed from mother to daughter express themselves in new and different ways; very individual, and yet at the same time deeply rooted in the foundations that the mother has laid.

Bringing both scarves together, tied in the friendship knot.

Scarf tying method: fold both Carrés in the basic bias, and tie them together on one end with a petite scarf ring or small double knot, in the same way as shown with Gavroches before. Then, wind around your neck twice and tie the ends in a friendship knot. A how-to video for the friendship knot will follow soon.

My mother, when she and my father just met

Her beautiful smile was her last gift to me when she passed away. I will always treasure it.
