If you read Tuesday’s post, you will know that I began my Christmas countdown at 154 days. A little extreme I know but I woke up that day with the biggest craving for Christmas cake, chased down with a large glass of port. Before I knew it, I was daydreaming of dark cold evenings spent watching fairy lights, Christmas carols, chestnuts, wrapping paper and baubles. Now it’s all I can think about. I’ve even started to do some Christmas window shopping, starting at my new favourite online store Not on the High Street. The store has come a long way from gimmicky toys and personalised aprons that I remember from when it first started. In fact, I spent the better half of an hour “browsing” through their homeware goodies. I have a few favourites…
Incidentally, I couldn’t find Christmas cake anywhere but I spotted my first mince pie yesterday! Any sign of Christmas where you are?
1. Hand-painted doorknobs; 2. Reclaimed wooden crate; 3. Personalised pendant; 4. Trinket dish; 5. Mini bespoke map heart; 6. Sting lights
oh yes, all the christmas sweets and treats have been out for a couple of weeks already. I'm not sure what to think about it, tho. four months in advance????
ReplyDeleteChristmas may be my favourite holiday, but I'm glad there is no sign of Christmas yet. I'm enjoying autumn for now.
ReplyDeleteLove love love that wooden crate. It looks great paired with those wildflowers.
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw Christmas goodies in Waitrose! I certainly got really excited. Christmas shopping? You are so organized ;-)

ReplyDeleteNo sign of Christmas here yet, thank goodness! We have a whole stack of birthdays in September and October, so need to get through those first. Looks like a great shop, will have to go and check it out now. x
ReplyDeleteLove this online store and all of their gifts have the right amount of whimsy. Will need to check out that wooden crate as it's perfect for a country kitchen!
