In Sweden, at Christmas, we put cloves in oranges, add a ribbon and hang them up in the windows :)

The cloves help to conserve the oranges, so they dry and do not mold.

They smell absolutely fantastic!

 Learning how to seal Christmas gifts with red lacquer!
A little tricky, 'til you get the hang of it :)

Now if you're wondering why I'm not in any of the above pictures...
This is where I was supposed to post a picture of me, in front of our Christmas tree, in a beautiful velvet JSK + Bolero, a stunning white coat from Magic Tea Party and a nice cotton skirt from Classical Puppets...

Sadly enough, my order from Qutieland has not yet arrived...

I paid and made the order 6th of September...

I ordered custom sizes, which yes- would take approximately 30-40 work days. 

I believe since September 6th, we are now up in approx 85 working days... (and my order is still "Confirmed and Processing", I haven't even received a tracking code yet!)...

My review for Qutieland will surely maintain some critique regarding the handling times...

So if you're looking to spend your Christmas money on SUMMER clothing... be sure to place your order now!

:D Merry Xmas! :D
