Christmas
is near – YAY! I love December with all its Christmassy wonders. Milan lights
up like a Christmas tree, so it does not matter that it is cold and dark. Even
in the fog (which is typical for Milan) the lights make everything bright and
help the holiday spirit along. I have got a candle that counts the days until
Christmas – it is apparently a very Danish tradition (Thanks Annette for
bringing it from Denmark!).
When I was
a child my mother would make a Christmas calendar that had a present for us
every day till Dec 24th in Danish it is called a “pakkekalender”. It was fantastically magical to wake up excited
to see what was in today’s present. Unfortunately I am no longer a child and
hence do not get a present every day of December. Nevertheless I am going to pretend
and throughout December I will post something that I would love to be giving
for “pakkekalender”. It is never too late to be childish – especially around
Christmas ;-).
Today I would love to unpack
these earrings from the Danish designer Julie Sandlau.
