setting the stage

Friends for an impromptu Christmas Eve soiree meant a bit of tearing round, tidying and making the house feel cosy, festive and welcoming. Our True Grace log fire scented candle in the hallway, a feast of breads, cheeses and home made preserves on the table, just add wine and friends.

I decorated with two large church candles in hurricane lamps, a wooden serving platter from Baileys, recycled glass drops from Refound Objects on twigs in an old Calvados bottle from The Hambledon and vintage crates from Over The Garden Wall.
