Winter, the most wonderful time of the year is here.
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” - Edith Sitwell
It's the only season to begin as the years work ends, just when we need a cosy season most. It's the perfect time of year for resting, catching up and getting the energy levels up again. Read on for how we are welcoming Winter at Natalie Ryan.
Welcoming Winter at Natalie Ryan
Autumn winds rest, leaves collected, no more left to catch. Winter has most definitely edged in; frost falls, snow follows and the final chapter of the year unfolds. Oh hello crisp mornings. Wellies on, scarves firmly knotted, we take brisk walks across frosty fields. The air is so clear we can see our breath.
At home the tree is up, baubles shine & spin. There's mistletoe under the porch and a glittery wreath on the door. Our stairs bannister is wrapped in berries and sparkly lights too. Mulled wine, mince pies, the house smells of Christmas. It's a time for love, friendship, get togethers and laughter. Our kitchen is a place where family and friends gather and feast.
Winter is a season of anticipation and delight. An end to the years work; rest begins, lazy days, long walks, box sets, books, board games and candlelight. A time to reflect on a year of life lessons and decisions, a time to remember and a time to forget.
A toast: to you dear one, final countdowns, celebrate the endings and cheers to what's ahead.
This year is going to be special. But first, home for Christmas. Winter you are magic.

My absolute favourite collection of the year is the 'Venues' collection. Featuring the most wonderful UK wedding venues, and some overseas too. Absolutely delighted to be expanding the collection into the year. Watch this space!
Whilst my day to day used to be full of bespoke commissions like this, the future will see the bespoke commission order books staying closed for the foreseeable. If that changes I'll let you know.
Thank you so much to everyone who ordered a personalised card from us. The thanks are genuinely heartfelt as you were all so wonderfully patient during the postal strain. Thank you so much for being so understanding.
