Finding a fantastic online source for beautiful treasures makes me very happy indeed!

The wonderful and charming Lidy Baars from French Garden House has just such a shop filled with beautiful antique and vintage wares that make me giggle with delight!

Instagram post 2195180612712024453_1275940727 Do you have any holiday decor tips and tricks or perhaps you are just really pleased with what you came up with for your holiday decorating this year?
I would LOVE to see some of your photos and hear your fabulous ideas!! I will share some of them in my stories over the next few days so we can all be inspired by your brilliance!! Tag @cynthia_weber_design in your photos and leave me a comment on this post today and tomorrow and I will pick some of my favourites to feature!!
This pic shows one of my favourite tips... did you know that you can make beautiful roses and ribbon simply by ripping strips of silk fabric? I have been doing it for years. I have used the strips as bows in the tree, ribbon on gifts and rolled into roses for gift toppers and even as ornaments in garlands and on the tree. 
I can’t wait to share some of your great ideas!

Instagram post 2194490112942254227_1275940727 A few years ago I was privileged to be part of the group that started the #loveofcountryhouses hashtag. It took off and that was thrilling! 
The best part was getting to know some fantastic new accounts that shared a love of the countryhouse aesthetic and followed the hashtag. 
Accounts like...
My beautiful friend Katy from @katy_at_the_manor . Katy shares tons of ideas on entertaining, diy, gardening as well as some fantastic recipes all from her seriously gorgeous home.
I have learned so much from her!
It is my absolute pleasure to share her lovely account with you today. 
The first photo I am featuring shows the blissfully brilliant redesign of her greenhouse. That floor is stencilled and I’m totally smitten!!
Pic number two features her main staircase... it boasts drool worthy runners  from Roger Oates which I love!
My final photo shows Katy and her adorable dog Libby sitting beside the front entrance to their house. I adore everything about this pic!! Doesn’t Katy look stunning!! And that dress! I need it!!💕
So, if you are a likeminded country house lover, pop over to Katy’s feed and give her a follow!! I have no doubt you will be inspired!! .

Instagram post 2193782427380735397_1275940727 I’ve done the front door urns various ways over the years. 
The problem is that we get a lot of wind and despite many attempts to make them secure I always have to redo them a few times a season. This year I went simple but effective... we took the tops of some led birch trees and set them in place with stone. Simple pine sprigs cut from the bush and that’s it!! The pine will blow away but is much easier to stick back in around the base as needed than some of the intricate traditional displays I had done in previous years.
I may go back to a more elaborate look next year but I do like how clean and crisp it looks. It’s especially pretty at night. We also have them in the urns at the side entrance. 
So what do you think? 
Is it a hit or a miss? .

Instagram post 2193121710138907165_1275940727 Can you spy the tatted squares hanging from the tree. I bought a box of vintage handwork years ago and these were in it. I thought they would look lovely as ornaments and that my friends is how traditions are born! 😉 
Do you have unique things you always hang on your tree?

Instagram post 2191708872241337373_1275940727 Afternoon tea anyone? 
Emmitt needs a snuggle and after some much needed time in the studio and a few things off my holiday prep list ( cheese balls ✔️) I’m ready for a good strong cuppa!!
BTW... we sit here in the breakfast nook a lot and this custom velvet Delilah Chaise from @greshamhouse has become one of our favourite pieces of furniture!!
Gresham pieces are to the trade and available through my studio. DM with queries 😘
I am also going to mention a note about cabinetry design... When you live in a historic home chances are storage might be an issue. When I designed the kitchen I wanted to maximize space so I went right up to the 10’ ceiling. The unit with the fridge actually has two rows of cabinets above the height of the fridge... there is oodles of space up there for all the things I only need every once in awhile... actually I’m not sure what is actually up there currently... maybe that’s where my treadmill went?
