Make a fuss free table setting
I love this time of year - the way we gather together with friends and family, the pools of unfilled time.
I think it may be because, when I sold gifts and wreaths, I used to limp over the finishing line of Christmas Eve deliveries, overworked, exhausted and knowing that I had now to start on preparing my stand for the January trade shows.
I am embarrassed now by the fact that I missed Christmas Day on a couple of occasions, collapsing into bed and sleeping through.
Quite what I was thinking I do not know.
So now I take things much easier - I now deliberately create a fuss free festive season, enjoying the whole process, bringing nature indoors.
I have filmed a video about how I decorate the Christmas table - creating a beautiful, welcoming space with things that I already have - many of them diverted from the recycling bin. Start where you are, use what you have . . . . you can watch it here
