Joyeux Noël

In the southern hemisphere in Tasmania, we are having a glorious summer Christmas day. This year we are celebrating at our home and we can hear the happy sounds of people everywhere in our street enjoying the day outside.

Even though Christmas in Australia is usually warm and sometimes beachy we all still think of the Christmas season in a European way with snow, woodland animals, crackling fires and warming food when the reality is more often than not sun, surf and salads! Our European heritage is hardwired and I must admit I love the classic winters Christmas imagery.

So here's to a lovely Christmas where ever you are and may you share it with the people you love.

Happy Christmas

We hope at this very busy time of the year you are all able to find a little time to savour the special moments and enjoy the festive season with friends and family.

We have made some small Christmassy nests for our friends and some have included little pine cones and berries. We often think of nests as a quintessential symbol of Spring but I also like to think of them as a metaphor for all that is 'home' and 'family' too.

Our family will be traveling on holiday for four weeks in January and February so we will share some photos about our travels on our return.  We will still be posting in January to herald in the New Year but our shop on Big Cartel will be closed from 20th of December and while we are away until 25.02.2019.

All the best for the last few days leading up to Christmas.
