“Faubourg by Night” snowglobe scarf for the season. I’m trying to be cool and insouciant with the “throw it on” not knot look. It really is hard to get that French je ne sais quoi…
The snow looks beautiful coming down but I was a bit of a snow person by the time I arrived at the H store lol. They finally had the vermilion Tulipomanie for me to try on. It’s very pretty but I decided I like having more fabric. Ah well…there are a few things that have caught my eye on the resale market lately, so it’s just as well!
I would not have expected this to be as amazing as it is in person. Fantastic choice!
Haha, it may not technically but a holiday scarf but I love the Bains d’H!About as festivus as I can get.
Dark plaid with some emerald green in it with Ex Libris Madras bandana moussie. Organza always feels like a holiday type of material too.

And this scarf has nothing at all to do with the holidays, except that one day (during spring or fall, I can't recall) I wore this out walking, and someone said what a nice Xmas scarf I had on....
Cherry Pink and Green Xmas for you then, Bains d'H

So exciting! Sounds like a very much deserved break.Good morning!!!!
I can almost not hide my deep sorrow of this being my last at work in THIS YEAR!! - not!!!
So trying to be a little festive and even got a beer to match my Source de Pegasus. And a new pin (with a subtle cut the crab-message)

Got grail mail Yesterday but will save that for another post 😉
And tonight I will even try and do some drink and scarf mixing to celebrate the beginning of the Holiday.
Wish you all a fabulous Day!!
Beautiful knot! I do love that there are scarfies here that have been collecting for 25-30 years and you’re enamoured. Thank you for sharing!
So very lovely with your jumper and in the friendship knot.
Fantastic cw! Congrats on your new-in.
Have the best time! I almost feel like I’m there with you (even if you may not want that!).
Adorable little village. Thanks for putting it on my radar. I love this Bajtlik design.
*swoon* it’s so great.
All so pretty @Lellabelle! I hope you’re unwinding this weekend.
Such a cosy look!
Well done you - Sweet Dreams is totally grail. Cheers!
Still OT. Recent trip to Christmas Markets started in Amsterdam. Was finally able to visit a top museum on my list - the Rijksmuseum. Appropriate wear was Tulipomanie.
Had a little treat in the cafe - this Dutch House won the pastry competition to celebrate the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam.
And finally got to see Rembrandt's Masterpiece - The Night Watch - well sort of...it was undergoing restoration. I was a bit bummed out but as my background is in chemistry so I am also fascinated by art restoration. Because it was unframed you got to see the borders - which reminded me of a reference in "The Thomas Crown Affair" (Brosnan /Russo) where she comments that forgers don't typically see the borders of a painting because they are hidden under the frame, so that's one way insurers can tell if it's a fake.

Another from Amsterdam on the tulip theme from Tulipomanie - was this gorgeous this is a Delft Blue Tulip holder (alas wrong time of year for it to hold tulips).
No trip would be complete without a visit to the Hermes Boutique - it's gorgeous with a front facade of glass bricks/tiles (I think it was recently posted in the windows thread too).

It’s lovely. The rich purple is yummy. I must keep any eye out for this one.
Thank you ‘Nola. Would love to see yours with CDL when you can!
Congratulations, @HermesEchidna ! You’ve had such a great year for grails 😊
My mouth started watering at the very mention of saffron buns with marzipan
. That’s my idea of comfort food! If you have a recipe you recommend, I’d love to give these a try. Enjoy the Lillet rose 
Thank you, @Jereni!
Paris at Christmas is such a treat. Thanks for sharing, Cookie!
Thank you, dear @GloWW0rM! The week is finally done, and I am ending it with a cocktail and some comfort food. Toasted cheese sandwiches and chocolate orange.
Beautiful! The Rembrandt is a wonder, even during restoration.
SOTD is space derby, black and gold. I’m in a starry night place this week, evidently
Cocktail to accompany it is a Claridge (like the London hotel), a Friday night favourite. Easy and tasty. Recipe below:
1oz gin
1oz dry vermouth (Noilly prat, for preference)
0.5oz apricot brandy
0.5oz cointreau
Shake over ice, and enjoy cold with a twist of lemon peel for garnish.
And MrBelle is joining me with a beer from our local craft brewery:
Happy Friday everyone. We made it to the weekend
Dear @Lellabelle - Thank you. The recipe is from my MiL and I have tried to translate it to English from Swedish. Please excuse any spelling errors and ask if something is not clear - I am not that familiar with baking terminology in English - or in Swedish for that matter.It’s lovely. The rich purple is yummy. I must keep any eye out for this one.

Happy Friday everyone. We made it to the weekend
Saffransbullar English
For the dough
5 deciliter milk
50 gram of live yeast (can probably be substituted by dry yeast?)
1 gram of saffron
1 teaspoon sugar
200 gram soft butter
A pinch salt
2 deciliter sugar
14 deciliter wheat flour
Filling
200 gram marcipan
100 gram soft butter
0,5 deciliter sugar
2 teaspoon vanillasugar
Decoration
1 egg, beaten
Pearl sugar or crystal sugar
Heat the milk to 37 degrees C.
Crumble and dissolve the yeast into the lukewarm milk.
Ground the saffron with a spoon of sugar and mix into the milk.
Combine soft butter, flour, salt, sugar and the liquid in one Big Bowl and mix together by hand or with a mixer for about 10 minutes until it is a very elastic soft lovely dough which easily slip off the sides of the Bowl. Cover and let it rise to double size for about 40 minutes.
Grate the marcipan and mix with vanilla, sugar and butter.
Roll the dough out to a Big square and spread out the filling evnly on top. Fold the dough together - fold one third of the dough towards the middle and the third from the other side on top of this as well. Roll this rectangle of dough out to fit a large backing tray. Line the backing tray with backing paper and put the square of filled dough in there. Then Cut the dough into squares - easy with a wet knife - but dont separate them. Also cut a cross in each of the squares - easy with scissors. Cover the whole tray and leave to rise for about 30 minutes.
Brush it all with a beaten egg and sprinkle with Pearl sugar.
Put in a preheated oven on 220 degree C and bake for at least 20-25 minutes until lovely goldbrown but on top and in the bottom of the buns.
Ideally it Then looks like this. Good luck on getting one yourself if there are kids or partners around!
Bon appetite - og rigtig glædelig jul! (Happy holidays) 🕯️🎄🤶🏻
What a formidable cw. I haven’t seen this design in darker colors and it’s smashing.
I always miss German Christmas markets. They’re so cozy and sweet. Delicious mulled wine, treats, high quality crafts…
French je ne sais quoi... I have to consider if there is a how to😅
Super yum. Reads a bit complicated and to me intimidating.
