I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays. It has been very busy, but I wanted to pop by and wish you a very happy, healthy and fabulous New Year 2023!
Hope you enjoy this picture postcard for the month of December; there is more to come soon!

My new workspace's petit Christmas tree, which is the first MaiTai Collection one!
Blue and Green should always be seen.
We still had a few warm and mild days in December, so I was adding a dash of white as a fresh winter accent.
I am currently working on new fabrics for the MaiTai Collection inserts, which will become available in the spring/summer next year. At first, I sourced an emerald green interior fabric for the insert below, but when I was ready to place my order it turned out that it had been discontinued in the meantime. In the end, I am glad the green didn't work out as I love the electric blue I found instead.
A tree amongst trees
My door wreath sources sadly no longer exist, so I gathered some decoration materials, pinecones, twigs and berries from the woods and pinned them with florist wire onto an existing base.
It is not perfect, but it was fun to do, and I'll definitely give it another try next year.
The champagne delivery came just in time for the holidays.
For those two, it has been a very relaxing December!
The Amaryllis in my kitchen opened just in time for Christmas
More greenery, this time to give the dining table on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day a festive touch.
How to
Start with a narrow base of greenery, and make sure you leave enough space for the place settings. Place some focus points (small plants, candle holders etc) along the way. Build up the base in volume and height with bunched-up berries, and leafy and evergreen twigs. Add more decorations such as pinecones, baubles, small figurines or candleholders. More is definitely better!
Hope your holidays and Christmas were merry and bright xxx
