CHIMING BEAUTIFULLY

A harmonised, timeless scheme will look good year after year, and can easily be added to with newly discovered treasures. Here an opulent garland adorned with navy baubles and velvet bows is made all the more beautiful with the addition of miniature blue-and-white ginger jars to echo the oriental-style vase and Delft tiles.
