By definition, nothing that has been left on May's table looks 'Christmassy', so it totally counts as an 'end of year' present. There's a glass jar that protected a small holly plant, the colours of which are more vibrant than usual. There are other glass containers too, for the intruder had learned that a witch can never have too many glass thingamabobs. There's even a little bundle of carrots for Peter!

But don't think Deirdre has been forgotten. There's a little gift bag with her name on it. There's a pale yellow pouch with a lavender design embroidered on it. The pouch is mostly full, but completely sealed, allowing for gentle squeezing to release a smell of lavender. Accompanying that, there's a small hot water bottle in a toy that looks like a black cat. (rosetintedgunman)

Although May's family didn't celebrate Christmas as such, the festive season had always held a special place in her heart. From the day that Yule began on the twenty first until the start of the new year, she spent time with the ones she loved, ate tasty treats, shared gifts and honoured centuries old traditions.

Flouncing through from the bathroom on the morning of the twenty fifth, dressed in a festive jumper and jeans, she was surprised to not only find Deirdre sitting on the end of her bed with Fawkes on her lap, but to find that she was also wearing a festive jumper with white snowflakes and skulls knitted into the pattern.

"I think your pink friend has stopped by," she commented with a nod towards her bedside table, the tips of her painted fingernails running against Fawkes' black fur.

"Wilford?" A bright smile spread across May's lips, stopping in front of the presents that had been left there.

"If that's the guy who has a pink moustache, then yes," she responded noncommittally. "Except...his moustache was only a little pink and he was dressed like Santa Claus for some reason." May smiled knowingly, eyeing the glass containers and vibrant holly plant. "Yep, that'll be him! How did he know I needed some new containers for my herbs?"

"Because he's Santa Claus?" suggested Deirdre drily, rolling her eyes. When May didn't object, Deirdre suddenly seemed surprised. "Wait...he's not really-?"

May turned over the tag on the gift bag and picked it up to hand it to Deirdre. "See for yourself. There's a present here for you, too." Exchanging a look of bewilderment between May and the bag, Deirdre timidly reached forward to peer inside. Before she had even inspected the present, the smell of lavender wafted into her face and immediately her muscles relaxed.

Even Fawkes seemed calmed by the scent, his eyes closing lethargically as a soft purr hummed into the air. Deirdre's fingers ran over the embroidery, feeling the rough lines in the stitching. May sat opposite her on her dressing table stool, silently watching her Mirror Self taking in the presents with a soft expression of wonder.

Once she had fully inspected the pouch, she reached into the bag and pulled out the hot water bottle shaped like a black cat. Her hands ran through the soft fur and she hugged it into her chest. Then, she tried to show Fawkes that it looked like him, but she noted how he was fast asleep. Seeing that, she couldn't help but laugh, which prompted May to join her.

"Believe he's the real Santa now?" asked May. Deirdre looked up at her, eyes sparkling. "...Maybe. Tell him I said thanks, okay?"

Our Blog

Our blog is a great resource for t-shirt design & inspiration and includes industry news, reviews, tips and tricks, how to tips and more.

One of my favorite illustrators, Dan who goes by the creative name of Roach Graphics, is having a major sale on all his artwork, in the form of a bundle. There’s a massive collection of 119 high quality Buy Tshirt prints that can build you an impressive t-shirt line, for only $43!

He is one of our oldest collaborators and one of the best selling creatives on the site since we opened this section, so he has been a big supporter of the Tshirt Factory projects

His recent art hints at pop culture figures, but with a rather versatile style, depending on the subject, he also touches upon themes like cars and bikes, urban, sports, propaganda or motivational slogans.

The approach is both serious and humorous at times, with complex details or on the contrary, simple lines that focus on suggesting an idea rather than describing it. The illustrations can also be used for stickers as promo material for your t-shirt line, because many of them look like mascots or personified popular objects, such as a boombox, a stack of cash, a donut, a polaroid camera or a baseball ball.

A Ritzy Family Christmas Gathering https://ift.tt/2sTnSNQ

Hosting your entire family for the holidays can be very exciting. Rashida Banks of Rashida Banks Blog was able to take advantage of a few The Home Depot products, showing how to make your space feel cozy and festive for your family during the holidays.

We’re hosting Christmas for the first time in years. I wanted to create an environment that shows the richness of our family bond, but also a space that feels cozy and festive. I like to say that my family and I are casual fancy people. I love this time of year because it gives my family and I a reason to fellowship and take a moment from our busy lives. I’m excited for the new memories we’ll create this Christmas.

For this year’s holiday decor, I decided to go a bit untraditional and do more of a ritzy, modern design. I went with a flocked tree, and absolutely love the fullness and height. We have typical 8-ft. ceilings and I wanted the space to feel grand, so I went with a flocked 7.5-ft. tree. (Here’s a tip: Add larger trees that almost touch your ceiling to get that “Grand Tree Effect”).

I chose brown, black, bronze, silver, white, deep gold, and clear ornaments that varied in size. I played a lot with texture as well. I found matte black ornaments, and shiny black ornaments; velvet ribbon and shiny ribbon; glitter ornaments and glass ornaments. Playing with different textures, shapes and sizes, makes the decor of a tree look more dynamic and visually appealing, giving off that ritzy look that I was going for. All of my ornaments can be found on homedepot.com or at your local store.

I didn’t stop my ritzy decor idea at the tree. I carried that same theme into the dining area. There’s something about setting the table with elegant flatware and glassware! It’s such a personal touch that gets my family excited about dining together, and makes them feel special. I ordered my entire table setting from momedepot.com to save time from running around to different stores. Starting with the center, I knew I wanted taper candles to add height to the table, so I found a matte black candle holder set and candle sticks.

Then, I added in some real pine tree branches that I actually bought in store from The Home Depot Christmas tree lot (they sell them in small bundles). I chose real stems because I wanted the aroma of pine to be throughout the house when my family arrives.

I love a layered plate setting. Online I found these beautiful small plates that say “love, share, enjoy, and gather” that can be used for salad or dessert, and I paired them with gold rim clear plates. I also added in a Christmas tree embroidery napkin between the salad plate and the dinner plate. The gold flatware takes this table setting to the next level. It has matte and polish brass finish that looks great against the shiny black table. I topped off each setting with these wine glasses that have pine cones engraved in them to give a festive touch.

I’m very excited for my family to see the holiday decor on Christmas day! I’m looking forward to playing card games with my sisters and cousins, and all the love and goofiness that happens when we all get together. So this Christmas, consider not only thinking about what colors you’ll choose for decor, but also think about the joy it will bring to everyone that comes to your home. If you’re hosting, set the table and make your guests feel special. Christmas is a time for fellowship with those closest to you. The decor is one way to help make that time most memorable. Check out homedepot.com and conveniently order everything you need for refreshing your home for the holidays!
