Welcome to entry #2 of my LIV by Au Lit blog. A little background about me and my fam: I’m one of the owners. My partners are my Mom (Peggy, who founded Au Lit Fine Linens almost 28 years ago in Montreal) and my husband Miguel. We are a very tight-knit family business (and my four-year-old daughter is not far behind.) She loves “merchandising” at LIV, and this morning I found her playing “LIV” in her bedroom. She had taken most of her clothes out of her drawers and placed them all over her room, and she’d even added some of her books and ‘tchochkes’ to sell too! She said to me, “I’m working at the LIV Christmas party today and my daughter is home with her Daddy.”

So cute. I never wanted anything to do with my mom’s business when I was little and look at me now. I’ve usurped the whole operation!

Anyway, it’s a warm, spring-like November day and Julie is doing the Au Lit Christmas merchandising. It’s hard to wrap your head around Christmas wreaths and flannel PJ’s when the birds are chirpring outside and people are walking around in T-shirts and yes, shorts. (Saw someone this morning in shorts. REALLY?) But speaking of flannel PJ’s, Au Lit has just put out my favourites of the season by BedHead. They’re adorable! Pink and blue flannel with birds. You might have seen them featured in In Style magazine. As the proud owner of many flannel BedHead jammies, I can promise you they’re everything you’ve ever wanted in a cozy jammy, and they get better and better over time.
If you like jammies as much as I do, you’ll also love Scanty’s holiday collection at LIV. Lots of peace symbols and owls, super cozy and a nice price point too.

So…happy holiday shopping!
