On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me..!

Katinka from Lily & Dot has suggested her collection of Vintage crystal bowl candles by Ginki Elegant, ($34).

Hand-poured in Tasmania, these soy wax candles come in unique cut-crystal bowls. Once the delicate fragrance fades, you’ll have a beautiful keepsake to enjoy!

Adelle from Fullers Bookshop has sent in two books for mothers out there!

1. The Garden Against Time:In Search of a Common Paradise ($45)
   Author: Olivia Laing
   The Garden Against Time is a humming, glowing tapestry, a beautiful and exacting account of the abundant pleasures and possibilities of gardens–not as places to hide from the world but as sites of encounter and discovery, bee-loud and pollen-laden.
   
   
2. Wise Women: A New Mythology of Older Women ($33) 
   Author: Sharon Blackie; A. Wynne
   A beautifully written collection of stories from European myth and folklore that celebrate women in the second half of life, retold by the award-winning author of Hagitude.
