Check out @camillebparizek as she unboxes my Luxury Fashion Bouquet Wrapping Paper! She is an icon, so her stamp of approval really made me smile. 💐
You guys have been loving this one! I’ve had brides order it to wrap their bridesmaid gifts and cool moms stock up on multiple rolls so that their gifts always stand out.
Lots of bright vivid color is enough to beat the January greys and perhaps even emulate an April sunset.
JANUARY’S CURIO BOX
I was reading Portrait of a Lady by T.S. Eliot recently, and to me it’s the epitome of a winter poem. The prose walks us through a fading relationship between two people. Each time I read it, a melancholic nostalgia sets over me causing my body temperature to drop at least seven degrees. Yet, I also find a peace and beauty in such cold, honest stillness. A crucial resoluteness to accept change without foregoing the memories that came before it.
That’s winter to me, and I’m trying to stop fighting it! Maybe I’m the only one that is hitting the middle of January and feeling a bit more accepting and quiet than inspired, even amidst the blossoming potential of a new year.
I don’t want to make lists of ins and outs or benchmarks of self-improvement. I want to sit, serve tea to friends, wear simple things, actually read my coffee table books, and let winter as it is bring exactly what is meant for me.
There’s a reason life has changing cycles - so I’m accepting seasonality and seeing what it produces in me… which is looking like lots of painting. Maybe in February I’ll show you some of what my brushes have brought to life!
Written as the first snow of the season speckles my windows,

“Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall
My buried life, and Paris in the Spring,
I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world
To be wonderful and youthful, after all.”
