• the red holiday checked tablecloth in the photo would have looked pretty on the kitchen table and these cotton and linen holiday napkins too (Lexington Co.)
• that classic wool throw in the foreground would have been ideal, the blue one too (Lexington Co.)
• or this basket weave blanket, hand woven in Kenya from organic, homespun wool (Toast)
• I wish I had bought this winter animals card set for my holiday greetings (The Moorea Seal shop)
• and discovered Wendy Paula's Parisian apartment houses Christmas card earlier, a collage with many of the loved Mulberry Muse characters for my vintage-loving friends (Etsy)
• reading a few pages everyday in the Penguin clothbound classics edition of A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings by Charles Dickens (Amazon)
• I believe wearing these red Calvin Klein plaid PJ bottoms on weekend mornings would have set the right Christmas tone - there are red lounge bottoms for the gentlemen too (Asos)
• I hardly ever drink from mugs but the blue Taika mug always looks so festive to me and would have been perfect for the hot chocolate; the Sarjaton mug too (iittala)
That's it, that's my list. Have a wonderful day!

I just LOOOOVE Dicken's Christmas Carol - the best ever!!! Thanks for sharing this Christmas inspiration list! Have some very festive days my friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas time tips, Lisa! I'm a sucker for Christmas cards (all teh ones you linked to are so pretty) and I wish I could learn my lesson and get mine way in advance, because I always seem to run out of them when it's time to send them out. Reading A Christmas Carol is a wonderful idea and I think it's time I watched the movie too, the classic, 1951 version. I want that Taika mug! Love that deep blue colour.
