FLOWERS by ingrid and titti - Happy Christmas!

This time on 'FLOWERS by ingrid and titti' - Titti and I would like to wish you a very 'Happy Christmas!'

I have put together a hamper full of inspiration for some last minute Christmas decorating and present wrapping.

The famous London store Fortnum and Mason has been selling their hampers for nearly 300 years. Here is a link to the history of the Fortnum and Mason hamper. 

We were given one over 25 years ago and I kept the basket - of course I did - doesn't everyone! I have used it many times as a prop and here it is again full of delights.

I have of course added some flowers and other plant material - this collaboration with Titti is after all called 'FLOWERS'. Even though its in the middle of winter in the northern hemisphere and sometimes not that easy to find seasonal cut flowers. But there are plenty of other plant material that you can use for the festive season. 

Here are a few suggestions: 

- mini Poinsettia in little silver pots

- a mini Christmas tree with some bakers' twine bows

- a wreath made out of dried slices of orange, limes and apples with some dried chillies and cinnamon sticks

- a few little branches of Ilex with bright red berries 

The hamper is filled with all kinds of things useful if you are doing some of those last minute decorating and other preparations for Christmas.

- red ribbons in a few different designs - for wrapping presents and tying bows on paper bags, wreaths and tree - all the ribbons are designed by the lovely Jane Means

- red vintage Christmas tree baubles - for decorating the tree

- red and white little paper bags - useful for small presents to put under the tree

- red and white mushrooms - for decorating presents, tree or wreaths

- twine and string in different colours and thickness - for wrapping and tying bows on presents, wreaths, tree and candle holders

- wide hessian ribbon - for wrapping presents and making bows 

All of these suggestions are quick, easy and not very expensive to do and it's quite fun to be creative.

Titti Malmberg - my collaborator on FLOWERS - who is based in Sweden - is also wishing everybody 'Happy Christmas!' - or in her case 'God Jul!'. 

So please go over and see what she has done on her blog HWIT BLOGG.

Have a Happy and Wonderful Floral Christmas!

See you later in the week!
