It is the most wonderful time of the year again and I am on my traditional Christmas trip for two weeks. This year my first stop is Vienna where I am currently enjoying the atmosphere and patterns, of course.

Gift wrapping

Could there be better gift wrap for a person who loves patterns? I found this lovely sheet of gift wrap paper from Liberty. Sadly, I will not receive any gifts wrapped in this paper.

Hyvää joulua - Merry Christmas!

Spooky Santa

I bumped into this glowing Santa yesterday while walking on Savile Row. I am sure the traditional tailors on the street are terrified, so spooky is this white bearded man.

Space Santa

Santa from outer space?

Christmas decorations above Carnaby Street. A space christmas is a nice idea!
