A very Etsy Christmas
You know it's almost Christmas in England when Marks & Spencer start running their annual Christmas food porn adverts on TV (cue: stripper music, oozing baked Camembert undressing itself, steamy molten chocolate pudding dripping in luscious whipped cream, and food just about falling off the plate it's so sexy). It gets so hot and bothered it's enough to make a girl grab the nearest glass of mulled wine to steady herself.
Or, you could do what I do and start thinking about your Christmas card list. Ah, there's a bucket-load of icy cold water if ever there was one. But for a stationery-obsessive like me, shopping for this year's cards is actually a wee bit exciting, especially with the tasty morsels from super-duper website Etsy. Check out my top picks of the bunch and see if you're seduced.*
