November/December
2011:issue thirteen
Been having autumnal fun in luxe land over the past few weeks, not least thanks to some unexpectedly fab weather.
Bounced around Barnard Castle on a glorious day with David Harper, who's the chap on the cover. You might have seen him on telly doing his thing with antiques; he's a real enthusiast, not just about the serious pieces but about all things quirky – I fell a bit in love with a whiskery, stuffed boar's head in his shop actually. In fact it would head up my Christmas list if home was a little more baronial than it is.
Another gloriously autumnal day was spent within the walled garden at Dark Star Plants in North Yorkshire where we shot our faintly-festive fashion. The phrase 'cabbage patch kids' takes on a whole new meaning when you've spent an afternoon knee-high in brassicas; thank goodness for Hunters.
Whatever your take on the impending festivities, there's no getting away from the season of list-making. Our luxe loves supplement is a helpful personal shopper for you and in luxe we're going a bit Kirsty Allsop with a bit of a 'knit your own Christmas' thing going on.
We've enlisted the help of some clever folks who like getting creative at this time of year. They'll help you make cool stuff as personal pressies to show how much you care. So on that note I'm off to get busy with the boozy, boozy mincemeat recipe.
Hope your festive season is sparkly and cosy when it needs to be...check in for a luxey 2012.
