Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

As I write this post this morning, I've spent a little time looking back on the past year, and what a year it was. After years of lurking in blogland, religiously devouring all of my favourites each day, I finally took the plunge and started my own little blog. I thought I'd find decorating inspiration and some great ideas, which of course I have, but I've found so much more than that. I've found a wonderful, supportive community of like-minded people, who are so generous with their time, energy and friendship, and it's been an absolute pleasure to meet each and every one of you. Thank you for being so wonderful, for your sweet comments, funny quips, great advice, fabulously inspiring projects......but most of all, thanks for making the last ten months so fantastic.You really are the best.

To end the year, I thought I'd revisit a few of my favourite pics - after all, what better way to wrap up things up than with some serious eye candy?

...and I'll leave you with some festive season decorating Ralph Lauren-style


So, from my family to you and yours, have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. I'll be taking a little blogging break, but I'm really looking forward to catching up with you all again soon. See you in 2011!

    Merry Christmas to you Dear Kerri,

    You were one of the Blogeristas that helped me to 'take the leap' and start my own blog. I thought that you must have been blogging forever, you have such a warm and confident tone and your space was filled with THE most gorgeous things - and it turns out that you started only a couple of months before I did!

    Congratulations on all that you've achieved, I can't wait to see what 'gifts' you share with us in 2011.

    Big hug,

    Felicity x
