GLAD FOR PLAID
The exuberant red plaid appliqué on this pillow cover creates a
standout accent throughout the winter. Resembling birch bark,
the speckled background fabric nods to the winter woods—a
fitting setting for the bold reindeer. Use the simple-to-construct
pillow as an eye-catching garnish for a chair, bench, or window
seat. Or nestle it with other pillows and a throw on a bed.

BUDDY SYSTEM
According to Scandinavian folklore, nisser, or friendly gnomes,
act as guardians and leave gifts on Christmas Eve. Dressed in
coordinating red and green attire, this pair hold their hearts in
their hands. Using peg dolls as foundations, it takes just a little
time and basic painting skills to create elfin personalities. Give
these sprightly pixies places of honor in your holiday decorating.
