In A White House Christmas, she gives us a glimpse behind the scenes of this complex annual event, which is meticulously prepared throughout the year. We see how some of the themes are developed, how the most imaginative displays are created and how the handmade items are installed in the historic rooms by a team of volunteers. In addition to recounting her experiences in the White House – from the selection and festive entry of the (main) Christmas tree to the storage of the decorations – this book also includes 15 DIY projects, for those who want to bring the grandeur of Christmas in the White House to their own living rooms.
Poetical Ikebana
€59.90The combination of Ikebana and haiku results in a more than successful marriage. The similarity between the two arts goes far beyond their common Japanese origins. The seductive simplicity of the haiku, its sparse use of words and subtlety, its silences and deep grounds, its rhythms and seasons… These are only some of the characteristics that Haiku shares with Ikebana.
