Design Directions - Holiday: Winter Whimsy
Kara Cox -- Home Accents Today, 5/1/2006
Friendly snowman faces and glittery candy cane candles add a touch of whimsy to winter themed accents. With catchy phrases and humorous motifs, these pieces take the holidays lightly. Colors include the traditional red and green but are often spiffed up with unconventional shades of lime and sky blue.
