Wish List: Festive pieces to pick up before Christmas

Esther N McCarthy sets her sights on adorable angels and reindeer food for the larder

H&M’s winter interiors wonderland is all about the mystique of a winter garden. Decadent reds, fresh greens and crisp whites all tied in with cosy textures, floral patterns and chic metallics. We love this bedroom look. See www2.hm.com/en_ie/home for more inspiration.

Cork-based artist, Cora Murphy has had a busy year, her students have just exhibited in St Peter’s and she’s mad busy with her book project called ‘Home’. Advance purchase is €15, and €20 after December 25. It would make a beautiful stocking filler for a favourite art lover. It brings together her 10 years of painting in Ireland. Pictured here is Cora’s oil on canvas, ‘Love Like a Landslide’. Cora is donating €5 from the sale of each copy to Simon and it is a limited edition with only 1,000 copies printed.
