romantic christmas


Another inspiration from France, a romantic Christmas theme. I love the contrast of the raw tablecloth and delicate glassware on the dining table.

It seems like the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe baubles in my last post were quite a hit. Unfortunately, I don't know where you can buy them, probably in some vintage shop in Paris.

Things are the same on the Flemish front. Yes, I'm still in bed; the last phase, hopefully, of this flu is a wonderful sore throat (the positive adjective is sarcasm, in case you didn't get that). It would have been nice to get a haircut and buy the rest of the things I wanted to buy, but I'm not going anywhere.

This post's Christmas song is my favourite Icelandic version of O holy night, performed by Egill Olafsson. I hope you are enjoying these last days before Christmas!

  1. *Bigfoot* Christmas is coming round the corner very quickly this year....well, it just seems to me! :)

    Today I´m gonna go downtown doing the last shopping and after that I have to think about how I`m gonna decorate my christmas tree.

    I decided to create a lot myself for a new kind of tree this season....we`ll see what it looks like.

    Merry, happy Christmas, Lisa and enjoy the holidays, have fun (beside the housewife work....)and let a lot of presents fall into your skirt!

  6. I've decided on my next year's Christmas decorations: they must include purple. Look how elegant and sophisticated those touches of purple are. Sending lots of get-well wishes your way, Lisa. I'm expecting better news tomorrow. ;)
