Hello!

November is a special time for me, as it's when I begin to plan Christmas in much more detail. We organise three big events for December every year - our staff Christmas Function, our client Christmas Function, and of course the Christmas day feast with family and friends. Around a year before, I plan the themes for each event. I'm excited to share more as we prepare over the coming weeks, follow along on Facebook or Instagram.

The above shot was taken one evening, with roses from my own garden! There is nothing quite like beautiful roses paired with Moet champagne and Waterford glassware. Divine!

Have a wonderful day,

Sandra xx
