So, 2011 is here. This is a little post-party shot I styled for our January issue – thank goodness for Wine Away…

It’s always tricky to find stylish party banners, but I spotted this lovely HAPPY NEW YEAR one at BekahJennings Etsy shop – where you can find a whole host of elegant bannerage for any occasion. She’s based in the USA, but will ship abroad. Do you have any New Year decorating resolutions? My list is too long to bore you with…but it begins with our dining room! Bookworms, beware: a lovely new book has just landed on my desk. I’ll share it with you later today. – Ellie
