This instalment of Screenshots and Saves comes to you from beautiful Scotland, where we are enveloped in the delicious lull just before Christmastime arrives. The atmosphere is dreamlike and unhurried, illuminated by candlelight (amber, fig, and musk) and warmed by wine. Soon there will be champagne and cashmere jumpers, good company and hors d'oeuvres, but for tonight, it's a cosy retreat of favourite Christmas films and music, deep conversation, and too many Ferrero Rochers. This second instalment includes a study of the colour red (a shade I've long avoided during the holidays, dismissing it as predictably cliché but am beginning to rethink this decision); a lovely neighbourhood bistro to bookmark; artsy finds and wishlists, and so much more. This edition is for Paid Subscribers—thanks so much for your support.

Over time, red also came to symbolise warmth, love, and generosity, which are central themes of the Christmas season. The colour evokes feelings of joy, warmth, and passion.
