I love Halloween, but I also love the Christmas season. Drinking hot chocolate while reading a good book by a warm fire; going to Christmas markets; getting together with loved ones; receiving gifts (but most importantly, giving them!); decorating the house and putting up the tree. And what better way to decorate than with handcrafted creations? Handcrafted pieces tell a story and add a touch of authenticity, unlike pieces you can find in stores. And they are much more durable!
Here is a small photo montage of some creations that I made for this magical period. If you would like to acquire one because you like it or simply to support me, I put the Etsy link at the bottom of this article.
Each wooden disc is hand-painted with a unique design inspired by the perfect (in my opinion) Christmas treat: gingerbread. Mom's is a real treat that, despite my cooking skills, I can't match. I love Christmas because it's one of the rare times when I get to be with my whole family, around a delicious home-cooked meal. It's a real wave of nostalgia, warmth and love.
And you, what do you like most about this period?
