"Fill up the stocking, I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now..."

Channeling Auntie Mame, we needed a little early Christmas for a festive magazine shoot today. The photographer seemed a little disappointed that I hadn't already bought my Christmas crackers and we had to improvise. So out came paper snowflakes, baubles and oversized sequin garlands to provide some festive context to my savoury party canapes. Both the decorations and choux buns were cheesy but it was fun to be part of this sneak preview of the party season.
