Les Poissonchats

Now tartan probably is more of a Scottish, and then British maybe or even American thing (think Ralph Lauren) but I can’t but feel ever so nostalgic around tartan on Christmas. I’m still looking for a wide and ample taffetta tartan skirt and until I have found it, my beautiful tartan throw will have to do. 

It’s so festive with it’s warm colours and earthy tones. Do you wear tartan around Christmas?

*This is Les Poissonchats Wondrous Advent Calendar! Advent calendars are a big tradition where I come from: every day until Christmas Day you prepare a small gift for a loved one, fourandtwenty little surprises. Advent calendars come in beautifully old fashioned prints on cardboard, extra glitter and glory, and each day there’s a little perforated window waiting for you be opened. Others are more elaborate, pretty baskets filled with twenty four numbered parcels, red velvet ribbons and sprigs of fir. The one I’m making for you this season is a different one altogether, it comes in digital form. Unless specially marked, all content is hand-stitched by myself, lovingly compiled and written for your amusement.
