These final days of December find me in Asturias with my family, enjoying a slower pace and the lingering magic of the festive season. I’ve gathered a selection of festive favourites that have caught my eye recently. As the last post of the year, it feels fitting to end with pieces that carry a sense of old-world magic: playful, nostalgic, and rich in craftsmanship, and to savour the season just a little longer before turning the page.
A Murano glass Christmas tree? Yes please! This one by Seguso stopped me in my tracks.

A chalet in Switzerland designed by Maria Ousseimi with walls lined with La Maison Pierre Frey Braquenié’s fabric ‘Les Colonnes’, featured in the January issue of House and Garden.

The chicest wedding invitations by Mount Street Printers designed by Studio Rosi
Brianda Fitz James Stuart embossed brass decoration
Old school Christmas charm via Seven Lakes Design

Candy stripes and Christmas trees are reimagined on DER TANNENBAUM, a jolly fabric by Mindthegap with a distinctly festive feel.

Ashtons Cottage’s handmade papier-mâché candles – what a brilliant idea!
