As part of our count down to Christmas we’ve decided to give the festivities a Cornish spin, with a few little tips, some tall stories and a dash of local legend to warm you up for the big day… This is Day 12…

We have a brilliant team of window designers who spend the entire year dreaming up fantastical plans for our window displays. And Christmas has to be the pinnacle in their window dressing year. It’s a full blown opportunity to deck the sills with all manner of festive treats and give shoppers a sparklin’ display in the build up to the big day.

Which started a whole conversation about what size our neckerchiefs were, whether they’d go around a Labrador’s neck and what exactly is the best way to ‘do a doggy bandanna’.

Last week I popped down to see the window dressers in their attic studio above the shop in Falmouth. They’ve just redressed the shop windows with a lovely rose garden theme and said they’d teach me how to make the beautiful paper roses. Tabitha kindly game me a demonstration which is posted below, so you too can make them at home. Why not pop down to one of our shops and have a look at the handcrafted displays :)

Any excuse for some yummy food here at Seasalt HQ - a slightly different twist on classic pancakes for Shrove Tuesday!

Here at Seasalt we love all things nautical and what’s more nautical than a fleet of boats?  We’re a little too busy to make a real fleet of boats so here is our office alternative made in paper. We came up with some alternative uses for your personal fleet:

• Racing, whether in a stream or setting out to sea.
• Name places, with all the festive feasts this season they are perfect for keeping your guests organised.
• Sweets dishes. A great alternative use for your dining table.
• A variation on the traditional party hat.
• Attach some thread and they can hang off your Christmas tree.
