The holidays always have a way of suddenly arriving and making me feel so unprepared. In true form just days before Christmas I was still in Toronto for meetings and sourcing for a cottage project I'm working on. Toronto seemed to be in full holiday mode and I was completely oblivious to it up until that point, hadn't given it a moments thought. Now that I was there I couldn't get enough of it, I love the sights of the city all decked up for the holidays. I soaked it all in knowing that back at home on the east coast ......not a creature was stirring...
It was especially sweet to visit one of my absolute favorite shops in Toronto, Angus & Company, to do some sourcing. I've said before that if there was any shop in Toronto I could just move in to it would be this one. When I walk thru this shop I find it intoxicating, it just hits all the right notes for me and resonates with my personal taste. To be able to see the shop dressed up for the season was uplifting and motivating knowing what I can look forward to in my own home next year. The simple use of seasonal greens, white flowers and candles epitomizes my idea of beautiful holiday decor. I just wanted to plop down, put my feet up and sip some eggnog.

A faux fur throw is one of my must have cold weather accessories. If you want to add instant luxurious coziness to a room,,,throw one of these over a chair, sofa, or bed. I own two different ones and am actually sad to put them away when the warmer temps arrive. Aside from the paper whites, candles and furry blanket,,,,my favourite touch is the teddy bear sitting in the evergreen wreath!

I simply couldn't leave without taking both of these guys with me. They were my carry-on baggage for my flight back to Halifax (they even got a big smile out of the security screener).
Whether this holiday season was full of old traditions, new traditions or transitions....I wish you peace, joy and good health in the new year to come!
Cheers,
Carol
