december 25th; inspiration

 

Can you believe it's nearly Christmas already? Because I most certainly can't.

Christmas is by far the best time of year for me. The whole atmosphere of what feels like the world completely changes, and I'm lucky enough working in education, where we get properly into the festive spirit too.

Illness, busy-ness and life has kept me away from this blog for nearly a month now. In that time, I have been snapping away, storing snippets ready for some serious December/ festive blogging.

In that time I have done some pinning which you can find here. Current personal trends seem to be anything Liv Tyler and the colour gold. Today's post features a small snippet of Christmas pins, which I've already printed, and implementing them into my first Christmas at home design for the year.

Any pin with a tree slab as a place setting is definitely being pinned. Now I just need to find tree slabs/ get the saw out!

These Charlotte Olympia flats are just amazing.

 

I'm loving alternate advent calendars this year; I've opted for a traditional chocolate Minnie Mouse one (a'la Poundland!) but I've seen some amazing alternates which I'll be featuring later this month.

 

& of course, no festive Pinterest board is ever complete without Ryan Gosling, in Christmas lights.

 

What is giving you inspiration this Christmas?
Leave your Pinterest links below, especially Xmas boards ... I'm looking for tons more inspiration before I begin Christmas DIYS & transforming my house into a winter wonderland next weekend!
