Happy Christmas to friends and fellow bloggers x

This is the sign that Christmas is on the way in our house. For years I've been making homemade fudge to give to friends and family at Christmas and there's nothing more satisfying that putting the last ribbon and label in place. I love finding different boxes, or sometimes recycling and decorating my own (the tree paper was from last year and the box is a recycled Jo Malone one). I love the whole ritual - it's all about the joy of giving.

Anyway this is a very brief post today, primarily to say a huge thank you to all who have followed me over the months since I started my blog in May. It's been great fun to write and gad about in all my fancy wares, and even more fun when you give me your feedback, so do keep it coming. I'll be absent for a week now, but will be back on the 30th with a big link up so do come back for the big reveal...

Apologies to all the true fashionistas for showing this very ordinary Christmas jumper, but I wanted to finish with a festive outfit. The sweater is actually my husband's which he refuses to wear (those who know him will get that), but I wore it recently when we did a charity event on the island recently "Text Santa" I think it was called in aid of several charities.



I thought I could at least co-ordinate my boots with the jumper.


 So that's pretty much it folks. I'll be spending some time at home with the family over the next week and popping into work from time to time too. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year, and hope that you will be able to spend the festive season with your loved ones too xxx

  2. The sweater and shoes are a perfect match!

    A very merry Christmas to you, Anna! I'll be off after tonight's post - I'll have some pictures of MY island (I live on an island as well).

  3. Anna, I love your Christmas jumper look...chic(ish) and plenty of fun!
    I laughed at you comment about your husband. Mine is exactly the same....Wearing a Christmas jumper?? Over his dead body. He would NOT be impressed.
    You have managed to look as stylish as possible (as far as a festive knit will allow) and I love it!!
    Merry Christmas to you....see you on the 30th!

    1. It sounds like our chaps are very similar! Comedy jumpers, joke ties, funny hats, these are not for the likes of my husband. Anyway, it may not have been my finest hour, but it served the purpose. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and look forward to hooking up on the 30th xxx

  7. Another lass who's married to a chap who hates wearing festive jumpers - although I did get him to wear one last year which matched mine! But I think it might be another decade before he wears one again!
    Merry Christmas to you Anna.

    1. I think it's a generational thing, as my son and all his mates are very happy to sport a festive knit with pride. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas x
