A different sort of family tree…<\/p>\n
Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m very keen on the topic of preserving memories<\/a> and keeping mementos. However, my friends and family will tell you that I am not a lover of chintz, frilliness or things that are really soppy or cutesy.<\/p>\n This can pose a bit of a problem sometimes as I often find keepsakes a little on the sugary side.<\/p>\n It was my birthday a couple of days ago. The weekend before my husband took me out for a little shopping spree in Selfridges for a few Christmas presents :-), a few drinks, dinner at one of my favourite restaurants and, even more excitingly, a night away in a central London boutique hotel without the kids (only the second time we’d ever left them over night – ever!).<\/p>\n On the day itself I received lots of lovely presents.<\/p>\n However, one particular present appealed to my sense of celebrating the family and clean lines and simple elegance. This beautiful ‘papercut family tree’ from Kyleigh’s Papercuts<\/a>\u00a0was the absolute perfect gift for me. I felt compelled to blog about it, as not only do I love it, but my husband Matt told me how helpful they were, rushing through his order so that he got it in time for B-day. Wendy – one of the three friends behind the business – even emailed Matt to say she’d get his late-in-the-day order to me on time: “You men wouldn’t be men unless you left buying presents until the last minute.” – Couldn’t agree more!<\/p>\n There are lots of colour and framing choices. It’s a gift not only suited to families, but for commemorating many special occasions.
