Beautiful Things, Issue IV

A macabre Victorian tradition, a gaggle of home tours, and my favorite design shops in London

It’s time for the fourth issue of Beautiful Things! It’s been awhile since our last issue, and I’ve been gathering some pretty things to share. And that’s exactly what we need these days, right? Somehow, we’re staring down the barrel at Thanksgiving, and Christmas is basically tomorrow. Have you prepared anything yet, if you plan to? I think I’ll be forgoing most of that this year, mostly because of what feels like a time crunch, or at least a race to the end of the year. I did book a few holiday events to get myself into the spirit, and I’m sure that will help. But I haven’t even thought about pulling the Christmas tree out of the basement, or adding any festive decor to the house yet. I’m giving myself until the end of November to get to that place, so fingers crossed! In the meantime, let’s dive into some beautiful things.
