As a Canadian I embrace all things British because of a love for the Queen that started in school when we used to sing God Save The Queen...growing up on the East Coast of Canada we have a deep love for tea and Coronation Street! Kath Kidston bags are dreamy!<br />All of your decorating is simply beautiful! The presents are so, so pretty!!<br />Wishing you a wonderful new week ahead!<br />Hugs, KimberleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312879348897409277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-78938326434661587082015-12-05T19:52:20.545-05:002015-12-05T19:52:20.545-05:00Jen, love it!

I used a lot of bakers twine, printed Christmas tags I found online, some ornaments as gift toppers here and there.

Some might say that I'm obsessed but I call it a healthy appreciation for all things British. ;)<br /><br />I love how you decorated the presents...I'd love to see more photos to give me some inspirations. Since I still have to purchase the majority of my presents, I'll have a lot of time to get ideas....!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627037934684116198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-75995164153299991952015-12-04T11:18:32.755-05:002015-12-04T11:18:32.755-05:00What a lovely way to spend the day!!!!

I just adore your little deer scene--and love seeing your ideas come to fruition--something I'm trying to be better at this year!

I'm still looking for a suitable replacement here stateside. Can you tell me which you have in the photo (it looks similar to what we had in London!).

I wrap first and group them together so I can keep track of who they belong to and then go back and tag, that way I don't feel rushed and can make little tags to finish things off nicely. I do like your candy canes.<br />The deer in the jar is adorable, I love the little wreath and a white bottle brush tree is something I need to see if I can track down her in the UK.<br />Te and biscuits in the afternoon, perfect!<br />Lisa xLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286339918056081955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-73387204127738654892015-12-04T02:29:09.813-05:002015-12-04T02:29:09.813-05:00Dearest Jen, LOVE LoVe LOVE your little festive bi...Dearest Jen, LOVE LoVe LOVE your little festive bits & pieces especially your jar with the winter deer scene!!!
