An Artful Holiday

_{Leafing through photos from a Christmas in France, I came across the gorgeous French Baroque style from the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in Maincy near Melun. The art and architecture shouts the holiday spirit with the glitz and glamour.}

How many of us are in the midst of holiday preparations? Sneaking time into the day [even while at work] to jot down ideas or sketching notes to manage the weeks leading up to the new year. Lately, I don’t want to do anything I don’t to, even when bombarded with invitations, it’s time for early nights to shake off the stress of the day. When was the last time you brewed a pot of hot cocoa with a touch of seasonal spirit, and then curled up with your favorite blanket to watch holiday classics?

This season, I’m looking to create a stylish, yet laid-back tradition of keeping Christmas low-key, relaxed, and cozy. There’s to be no fuss, it’s all about less is more!

Enjoy the festivities,
Kathleen
