Meet Belle, a darling little King Charles Spaniel puppy with the gentlest of eyes, the sweetest disposition, and an irresistible fondness for all things Christmas. With her silky ears and tender expression, Belle looks as though she has stepped straight from the pages of a treasured Victorian Christmas card, where beloved little companions were often depicted nestled amongst ribbons, lace, and festive finery.
Of all the wonderful traditions of the season, Belle's favourite is the wrapping of Christmas presents. While the household busies itself with parcels and pretty paper, she quietly gathers the loveliest lengths of velvet ribbon and curls herself into a cosy little nest amongst them. More than once, a beautifully tied bow has gone missing, only to be discovered tucked beneath Belle's sleepy little chin. And although she is occasionally responsible for a rather tangled ribbon or two, nobody could possibly scold such a gentle little soul. After all, Belle firmly believes that the finest Christmas gift of all is a warm place to curl up, surrounded by those you love.
Nestled inside a genuine oyster shell gathered from the sparkling coastal waters of British Columbia, this handcrafted ornament celebrates cherished traditions, treasured memories and the joy of keeping old stories alive for generations to come. Whether displayed on a Christmas tree, woven through garland, tucked into a wreath, or styled on a festive holiday table, it is a treasured keepsake designed to be cherished for generations.
