Oh you lucky American people! You get to have a Shabby Christmas courtesy of this gorgeous new video from Rachel Ashwell. If they only created a version of this DVD suitable for UK format  DVD players I would book myself an afternoon in my living room, pretty jotter and lilac inked fountain pen on hand, while I curled up under a rose coloured quilt and absorbed as much shabby festive inspiration as I possibly could...

As it is I'm gonna have to make do with a rather vivid imagination so consider me so green I'm nearly blue, with envy...
