A Little Motivation

This lovely image puts me in the mood to start addressing holiday cards. (Note the Chiang Mai Dragon curtains?) The picture appears in the November/December Southern Accents, accompanying a nice story written by Beaty Coleman: Season's Greetings. Christmas card history is covered along with tips for sending tasteful notes. It's a good one to clip and save.
A few days ago I shared some favorite sources and bourbon-related presents from my Lexington friend, Cameron (a.k.a. "Carson"). Now I realize this sounds suspiciously similar to Jane Scott Hodges' gift suggestions featured on page 24 of Southern Accents. Jane Scott and Cameron are old family friends, so perhaps they are on the same wave length.
Another source that Jane Scott mentions is Sucre. Be sure to check out their mouth-watering seasonal offerings, and grab a copy of SA's holiday issue for many more ideas. (Hanukkah inspiration too!)
Update:Â Jane's company, Leontine Linens, just announced an extension on the deadline for holiday orders. Call 800.876.4799 or e-mail info@leontinelinens.com to be paired with a sales associate.

Another must-read this season: the December Western Interiors. Mrs. Blandings generously reminded me that both a favorite designer, Peter Dunham, and a favorite beverage, Coke, are highlighted in a pretty holiday spread. Although the setting is a bit posh, Dunham has injected a signature touch of whimsy -- the old-fashioned Coke bottles with sterling silver straws. Delightful. I've got to duplicate this.
