Yesterday afternoon I pottered around getting the house ready for our Black & Spiro Staff Christmas Drinks which I traditionally hold at home a few days before Christmas each year. I arranged lots of vases of pretty fresh flowers which I placed around the house. This one {above} was one of my favourites which I placed in a old crystal vase my grandmother gave me on the chest of drawers in our kitchen next to one of my most treasured possessions....a Herend tea set for two which was give to us as an Engagement present 8 years ago. Also on the chest of drawers are a couple of Antique spoons which I bought when I was in Paris earlier this year and lots of other special little things which I hold close to my heart!!

Gorgeous!
Any shopping secrets for Paris? I'm heading there next year and would love to know the places which aren't over run by tourists!
A gorgeous vignette in my favorite colors. I do believe our possessions reflect our personalities. These items are beautiful.

What a lovely vignette Anna, and such a wonderful treat for Christmas team drinks... I think most of wish we were part of 'Team Black & Spiro' just to soak up the visual feast! Enjoy, S x
