Deck(orate) The Halls With Laura Hooper Calligraphy

It’s not too late to deck the halls with hand-lettered holiday décor! For the first time ever, we’re taking a true holiday break and closing up shop from December 15 to January 4, but for now, there is still time to place your order through our online holiday shop. We recommend ordering early this year from all the small businesses you’re supporting online to allow sufficient time for delivery!

Offering a curated collection of beautiful holiday pieces, and personalizing them by hand just for you, is one of our favorite traditions each holiday season. It’s been a joy to meet so many of you in person the past few years at our pop-ups at The Shoe Hive, Alexandria Makers Market, and more. We truly appreciate that so many local Alexandrians support our small business year after year, so thank you!

If you’re hosting this year and are in need of place cards for your festive tabletop, we are offering our plaid or burgundy ornaments in sets of eight at discounted pricing, making them a really unique place card option that your guests can take home for their own holiday trees. We also have personalized nativity sets (just a few left), white glitter roof houses, Santa place cards and gift tags (very low quantities on these items!), and our hand-painted ornaments - all available for customization by hand.

Or, if you are looking for a unique hostess gift or something thoughtful for your neighbors or colleagues, we recommend our potted Amaryllis & Paperwhite gift sets. These are easy-to-grow (don’t worry, we include instructions in each set!) winter bloomers that will bring the beauty of flowers into your home during these colder winter months! Here are some lovely options for the holidays, and we have seven more varieties available in the shop.
