12 Days Before Christmas

It is that time of the year, where we are either madly preparing for Christmas or in complete denial that it is less than two weeks away. I am in denial. I still have gifts to buy, a trip to plan, some decorating to do around the home but I am happily enjoying all the events that are happening this time of year! Happy to put on my party shoes rather than hoist up the Christmas tree, that's for sure.

I have however planned something a little special to share with you here on ish and chi. I have invited some of my friends and people I have been inspired by for years to share a few words in the lead up to Christmas - the 12 days before Christmas.

I won't reveal who just yet (although you might guess by the image above) but over the next 12 days there will be guest spots from a stylist, a decorating guru, fashion and interior writers, owners of homewares stores, a DIY expert, photographer and designer. I hope you find their words as inspiring as I do and thank you to my guests for being a part of this.
