CHRISTMAS Update

 

Decorating with pine is one of the oldest Winter rituals we still practice. An echo of times past and the love of evergreens as symbols of endurance for the sharp Winter ahead. Their scent and softness, and their deep green colour all speak to the instinct to head indoors and get cosy when the world goes quiet and cold.

 

Layered over mantels, mirrors, stair rails or hung on doors, pine always has a way of softening surroundings and heightening atmosphere. A gentle counterpoint to candles and the chill of Winter outside the window.

Get Ready to Ring in an Amazing 2017!

2016 was a tough year for a lot of us, leaving us wanting desperately for the new year and a fresh start. But with all the challenges, there were good times too.

The history of Stingy Jack Halloween lanterns

  People have been making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form. Jack ...Read More
