It has been a whirlwind of Etsy activity running up to Christmas, but I managed to squeeze in some Christmas celebrations, here is a little photo synopsis of Christmas 2007 over here in Belle & Boo world.
Russ booked us tickets to a 'White Christmas' at the Royal Albert Hall. It was the perfect day, a crisp, wintry walk in Hyde Park, red wine & renditions of 'I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus'etc, with very pretty lighting which made it look like it was snowing in the auditorium, a couple of VERY expensive cocktails in a swanky London Hotel, finished off by a cosy Thai meal in Soho.
Seeing my friends little girl in her first school Nativity, she was the angel Gabriel, how cool is that!
Going to my first baby shower (not yet that popular in the UK) it was just like a big tea party, with lots of cake and cute presents, mine of course were bought off Etsy, from the amazing Tiny Feet & much admired!
Meeting 6 girl friends for Christmas lunch at the new Royal Festival Hall restaurant, Skylon, overlooking the Thames. Very Sex in the City!
Popping home for a few days to celebrate with my family...... mum your Christmas dinners are the BEST x
and opening Russ's present, a french light for my new desk in the new studio.
Now we are rushing off the seaside to welcome in the new year with friends & good food......A VERY, VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
oh such lovely festive things you got up to...that's what christmas is all about :)
