This year’s model

Every December, along with the tree decorating & whatnot, I refresh our Door Wreath.  Last year it was heavy on pine boughs, rosemary sprigs, and raffia. 

This year, I went with ribbon:

I think it turned out rather nice.

You know what I love?

Finding gifts for my husband.  He’s both very easy to shop for and very difficult.  Easy because I know what he likes, and he’s easy to please.  Difficult because he manages to expend a lot of effort on finding unusual and unexpected gifts for me, but I have very little success in that for him.  Oh, I’ve managed it once or twice – like the antique silver cigarette case from Brighton, or the vintage leather front cardigan a few years ago, but overall, I just can’t keep up.  So it’s nice when I find something both unusual and *perfect*.  If you knew him, you’d know just how perfect.

Luckily he doesn’t read my blog.  Whew.
