Every year, I spend months reflecting on what my next holiday design should be. I want each collection to capture more than just seasonal beauty—it should tell a story, evoke emotion, and bring warmth into every home it touches. This year, after much thought and soul-searching, I kept coming back to one theme that felt timeless, magical, and true to the heart of the holidays: The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker ballet has always embodied The Spirit of Christmas for me—grace, wonder, and a sense of childhood enchantment that lingers long after the season has passed. I knew this was the story I wanted to bring to life in my designs. 

From Idea to Design

The imagery unfolded naturally once I decided: the poised ballerina, the steadfast nutcracker, soft winter florals, and touches of gold. Together, these details create a collection that feels both nostalgic and elegant. I wanted it to be versatile enough to appear across all of my products—candles, stationery, art prints, and gift tags—so that each piece could stand alone while still belonging to a cohesive story.
