"For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas." β Charles Dickens
Hello Wildflowers! In this episode, we'll be fulfilling one of my childhood dreams and giving the drawing room at Belladonna Cottage a Victorian Country Christmas makeover. We'll decorate with hints of Dark & Light Academia, inspired by Charles Dickens and Australia's romantic landscape painters of the 1800s. We'll be restoring the hardwood floors, thrifting antique furniture and crafting up a cottagecore storm with a native wreath, Morris & Co. stockings, a baked brie and blackberry pull-apart loaf and a vintage bar cart... enjoy!

'The Rambling Rose' is filmed on Gunaikurnai Country, and it is with great reverence that I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this wild and beautiful land, their ancient wisdom, and their deep connection to country.
