The Ultimate Hostess Gift

The wax is comprised of a unique blend of soy, maple and palm waxes. The vessel is inspired by the organic floral structure and elements of art deco design.  The packaging is stitched in Burmese silk.  The satin ribbons are imported from France and the tissue that wraps each bowl is hand pleated and imported from Switzerland.  And the scent is pure heaven:  French Tuberose against an earthly and delicate scent of Woodland mushrooms. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtYWgzD8tLiW29NeOE9aHHfogkPMGcKm_Kupei1IAakHl5IEgCwdoYtHuT7jgNmhDQf_iWiSJKUX_EB8XOEO85NHmmVzBswmfiWDlqC-6LcgzuCfXs_1rDhXrA4qtICdiX-MQHouPLV5B4/s1600-h/image%5B22%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="539" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumbiIk-_KC6dufevKcg-dHKmAGT0Ws6IKgfyQuxc5PQTUoZHNAgDpq-HGvR7tn9lm_9Jcc3KL6kl7-zcjbw9iSDP499zEaNxQCY8n6acdaUe3B2-FYFRfGXgYzZx2QSuAE3-UNXozi2BG/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" width="540" /></a> D.L. & Company candles available from <a href="http://www.griffintrading.com/dlandcompany.htm" target="_blank">Griffen Trading</a>.

Avoiding stress at the holidays is the main point for interior designer Patricia Gray. Her secret is starting early in the season in order to enjoy visiting with friends and family throughout December. Gray typically picks the last weekend in November to haul out the decorations and gets her tree up by the first week of December. Although she was tempted to get a seven and a half foot artificial tree this year she opted to stay with a real Douglas Fir tree - mainly because the fake tree wouldn't fit into her car. "I don't mind artificial trees. A lot of my clients in condos are not allowed to have live trees. The one I wanted looked so realistic," says Gray, adding the Home Depot tree was a bargain at $299 with 1,000 lights on it. She suggests using clear white mini lights and plenty of them in order to make the ornaments stand out on the tree. "My tree is decorated with silver and red balls and 10 strings of mini lights. I find the more lights the prettier the tree. I stuff them into the depth of the tree close to the trunk then bring them to the outside," she says. Gray has become somewhat of an expert at tree decorating after completing one for the <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/2008/12/beginning-to-look-lot-like-christmas.html" target="_blank">Canucks Children's Hospice</a> fundraiser at Sutton Place Hotel. For that tree she and her staff, at <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/" target="_blank">Patricia Gray Design</a>, began making gingerbread cookies in August representing children from around the world holding their country's flag. To make the icing long lasting, they used glitter glue instead of using real icing. "Making your own gingerbread and hanging them on the tree is quite a nice thing to do. You don't have to go to the extent we did. You could do something simple and just have the glitter embroidery glue on the edges [of the gingerbread man]." Keep it simple, keep it fun and just enjoy," she says. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAyBUtNCeaRWsclFOB4kgiHinfnGe8DU8JwH3ChyphenhyphenFzaAH40QEM7bKfVLVzLlunj4xAf8oeuX2PVqOwEDGDpiyG7nSOjB7rjLdsXvUyOxC-TzuGee1f-K5VrvfAfol8ubBWaIhG_RUA3QE_/s1600-h/1064109%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="1064109" border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbUKAJzhfcSJZVAXLdF1Teh4f-4WyJyLvHJOUM9Ni5zchYIHAJajlJETSkH4GniDf6Biu-9TqOJtsy22nJfpy8Vw6sCzPJ4q0frJchPTbH2Gc0hDJedIAzD9Sh_DG9oTGwQ_L4HTFhAZKp/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" width="373" /></a> Postscript December 12th, 2008 My partner in the tree decoration at the Sutton Place Hotel was Linda Sale Interior Design

Red Inspiration for Christmas 2007

<div align="right">Christmas is by far my favourite time of year. It is the time of year that I am stimulated both emotionally and visually. I love the decorations, the lights, the spirit of giving and receiving, and most of all this time of year makes me attracted to the color red more than any other time of the year. So in the spirit of the season and the mood I am in, following are some of my favourite red rooms and objects of decor. I wish to you all a season filled with the spirit of love, happiness and time spent with family and friends. </div><div align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAleBDUTaMWktdg2yVT9Zj_WsrDumlm_RTCSXeF-ryWIYlETR2H4DT6hxRHn11etw1nfjAcX3jsghq7ZeKdtuiGxM0RSF3GyzYv3NNxB-C0XbSi2ZU5OxrGc_bpuT4HBg4epMWdiNsddE/s1600-h/Brian+McCarthy+Elle+Decor+Dec+07.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144714277212983154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAleBDUTaMWktdg2yVT9Zj_WsrDumlm_RTCSXeF-ryWIYlETR2H4DT6hxRHn11etw1nfjAcX3jsghq7ZeKdtuiGxM0RSF3GyzYv3NNxB-C0XbSi2ZU5OxrGc_bpuT4HBg4epMWdiNsddE/s400/Brian+McCarthy+Elle+Decor+Dec+07.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a>What a great use of a modern stripe on a traditional chair and the other touches of red in the room echoed in the roman shade and flowers.</div><div align="right">Brian McCarthy Elle Decor Dec 2007</div><div align="right"></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144712524866326354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs46xnMHnp8CgpKXndF6TcoX9qKOCosec5Ng2IHnO4hvZCkz4AX9ArQYzbUUvrxEHMssRynxeAhN1VmcJ-bJx7JoWSyJArkG9qFeGg54YulUW35morbn0IaKpSu1LUyp4rbw9fUKLGgDg/s400/world+of+interiors+4+07+james+mortimer.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> <div align="left">What about just one touch of red in your room in a wonderful and ornate mirror frame?</div><div align="right">World of Interiors March 2007 James Mortimer </div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144707602833804882" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmIpTJrfllNTO-iS6IRVR_RASdaSE1B8hXXZorGxkoLh77ILPEjCnDr0v5QMN7DFstsqYxLPanBZgBphkJUmq766ONAneDrJg_CN-TqXBJ_CO_vXqW-SZJVatC6Q6_MNawNFFcKmcCHyM/s400/nymag.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> My favourite Interior Designer, Albert Hadley in front of his famous red bulletin board<div align="right"></div><div align="right"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144709346590527154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRF03Gt1peVqUXcfflHyrz9pkKN2gm_nacvFEPpB3VYBr7YUrfGKpavmgIy8lzcWvjxdLobNTHFMzc3R1pkSaKX6wmvbhdqLjAyrp2kHYKym2AuHWMGEkmnKnoTy841Tc3wObqIf2k_W0/s400/Suzanne+Rheinstein+red+felt+door.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />A door covered in red felt that I adore by the fabulous Suzanne Rheinstein</div><div align="right"> <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144707714502954594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkqNiMGwz9kTmTGS-40Jby6fps1uUj7Hk7PMUu7mhDupdCRX8IBQGseA1_79YKhwwGdXtvK3MxYZndsnuC8akjzAzwRNZR2Y14ned03jmu_nTTp86e7sVU1lhqaeK7aRU88-ezPq4ixeg/s400/Ward+Denton+and+Christopher+Gardner+elle+decor+2002+via+peak.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></div><div align="right">A masterful use of red in this room.
