Christmas means la familie!

My husband and I absolutely ADORE christmas.This is an understatement.Christmas is our favourite time of year , firstly because we are very family orientated and this time of year allows us to be even more so.Christmas is also an optimistic season , and we are most certainly positive , optimistic people.

I have spent Christmases abroad and they are simply not the same! Thailand and Australia have NOTHING on spending Christmas in the UK with a crackling fire and a frosty beach walk.

Christmas for me is LOVE ACTUALLY. Unapologetically British , sentimental and unique.

I cannot wait , and we have already decorated our home to the tunes of mariah and george.We have wrapped probably a third of our presents and placed them under the tree , which looks divine!

I am at the age where it feels like christmas is more for the 'kids' and , not that the magic has worn off , but maybe that I will experience an entirely different kind of Christmas once we have our own family. This is even more exciting , I am sure we will go totally over the top then !

I must go turn on the fairy lights!

Jewellery class

I pretty much adore jewellery.My interest I think is in my blood.My grandad polished diamonds and pretty much the whole one half side of my family works at the London Assay office.

This isn't to say that I have a natural talent for creating my own wares. I have recently joined a silver and copper making jewellery class along with my friend.We absolutely LOVE it , but it is a lot trickier than I could have anticipated.I am hoping my passion gets my through!!

I am inspired to keep going and trying new things when I visit PIPPA SMALL's website.The lady is amazing in my eyes,I love what she stands for and I love all her designs.I want to grow up to be Pippa Small.
