To the rest of my readers, thanks for making 2009 such a great year for Little Willow! I’ve enjoyed all of your comments and participation in my little blog and I look forward to spending more time with all of you in 2010! I’ll be posting lightly over the next few weeks but in the meantime I’m wishing you all a spectacular holiday with lots of love, laughter and light!

santa salad plate

For my final giveaway of 2009 Lizzy Fisher of Vietri in Fearrington, North Carolina has sent me this adorable white Santa plate. I would imagine that Good Ol’ St. Nick and his round little belly would shake with a laugh like a bowl full of jelly to find this plate filled with cookies when he arrives down your chimney!

The plate measures 9″ x 11″ and is made for Vietri’s Bellezza line by Tuscan artisans using traditional 13th century Montelupo techniques and enamel to create a low-gloss surface on each handmade terra cotta piece.  This plate would also be really cute hung on your wall during the holidays.

Coralie Series 1

973854_045_b973857_072_b

Someone on my Christmas list is getting a set of Jane Austen’s hard cover books from Penguin Classics (available through Barnes & Noble or Anthropologie).  This person is notoriously hard to shop for but I happen to know her favorite books are Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice which she re-reads almost every year.  I thought these pretty cloth-bound editions designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith might actually be the perfect gift for her, wish me luck!
