Thanks to K&Co., (an amazing blog from Copenhagen) for their post "Min Jul" last Christmas, which provided the inspiration on the first one, and started the ball rolling.

7 more sleeps...

You know how plans go. 2 months ago I would have told you that by this time the blog would be jam-packed with pictures of all things Christmas. But, thankfully, we had great shows this year, followed by orders upon orders to fill and ship, short-notice trips out west to visit family...and on top of it all, after a long and painful fight-for-life, my camera has finally been laid to rest.
So for now, a few of the pictures I was able to take.

    One of Nicole's primitive fabric angels, with feather wings and old wire halo. Sold out.

Scented and spiced cast-beeswax stocking ornaments...one of many styles that we make from our own handmade moulds. Sold out.

13 inch Chalkware Belsnickels, cast from my own handmade mould. Painted, distressed, flecked with mica and carrying a little handmade tree slip. Sold out.

One of our heart decorations with text,
as seen on Gap interiors, here.

The Last Pumpkin

Large grey fabric pumpkin

Today really felt like the end of Fall. For the past few months we've been in that transitional stage where we have one foot in Fall and the other in Christmas. But since today we sold the last of the pumpkins, I thought I'd post a picture and officially put and end to our season.  Bring on Christmas!!
