I do hope that you all had a great Christmas and that 2022 will be a wonderful year! We were so happy that Younger Son was able to visit for a few days and that the four of us were together again. New Year was very quiet, but relatively peaceful.

So, for my first post of 2022 (starting the sixth year of the blog), I will show you my Christmas presents…

Yes, I am a very lucky person! Lovely Husband gave me a gorgeous purple cashmere crew neck jumper from Pure Collection. My “boys”’ present was the superb purple resin and gold plated necklace from Grand Tour Collection. And you will have already seen the beautiful Hermès scarf, Le Premier Chant, that I bought for myself before Christmas. Doesn’t it tie everything together nicely?

Here is a better photo of the necklace…

I managed to wear all of these gifts on Christmas Day…

A quick reminder of the full scarf – Hermès’ Le Premier Chant…

The scarf has been designed for the Spring/Summer 2022 season, but I think it looks great with a Winter outfit. Very versatile! And, NO, those aren’t depictions of COVID-19 around the hem!!! Eek!

OK, I think that is enough for now. With this new year, I will try to continue the pattern of posts from the last couple of years: something general or pertinent on Mondays, the Reading Roundup on Wednesdays and Outfits of the Week on Fridays (hoping that there are some outfits to write about!). Sometimes my health issues are overwhelming and I have to take a break, but I will try my best to be consistent.

Love and best wishes,

Anne
