The beautiful boy spent an afternoon beavering away at the kitschen table making Christmas cards for his classmates....
Mrs Bobobun sent me a picture of our Pick 'n' Mix banner which she and hubby put up in Holt today!
Our market continues to get wonderful coverage in the press.. this article came out Friday and included a great write up on two of our lovely makers Emma Mitchell and Lapwing Printworks.
And when I read the January issue of BBC Homes and Antiques magazine there is our home all festive and bright! (of course you all know the pictures were taken on a sweltering day back in August... but Hey! Play along!)
They have done a wonderful 8 pages of lovely pictures - the beautiful boy was utterly delighted to have a full-page picture of his bedroom so a copy had to go into school for show and tell! Mummy was less delighted with yet another picture of herself before the fitness drive really took effect - one of the downsides of all this press coverage is that all the pictures feel terribly out of date! Vanity again! But really - couldn't they just show the house?!
Of course there is one truly surefire way to tell it is nearly Christmas.... The arrival of glitter! I make it a matter of necessity that no-one sits at the kitschen table in December without getting the stuff on their elbows, in their hair, on their chin.... it's everywhere already!
so Christmas must be just around the corner!
And tomorrow I am off to Mrs Bobobuns to have a jolly day sprinkling glitter in her dining room as we prepare some homemade decs for the hall on Saturday! Whooppee! t.xxx

And...even if it is strangely out of read time sequence, how wonderful to know that if I remain patient, I will see this fabulous article eventually on the stand at my neighborhood Barnes & Noble. In the States we are usually 3 or 4 weeks behind time.
All the same, let me offer congrats to you, right now! xo
By the way, your son is such a star for making his own cards, they look great!

I have to tell you that you your home looked absolutely smashingly stunningly GORGEOUS in H&A!!!!!
I was soo chuffed as I bought the mag on impulse without realising it was "your" issue, so what a treat to come across those glorious pictures. You have such a beautiful, joyful home, very inspirational indeed.
Lovely to catch up with you, glitter n all :o)

Good luck a pick'n mixing!!!!
I thought you looked lovely in your picture!x
This is the first time I have been on your blog. I love the cards that your son made. I sell cards for living so we could maybe get him a wee job doing that when he is older hehe!
I love that your house is in a magazine, they only put really special homes in there so you must be very proud.
I will be following the blog from now on.

The glitter, I don't mind seeing it in odd places, as long as it's not in the food or tea!
