Following Tuesday’s self indulgent misery-fest I thought it was time to bring a bit of festiveness to the blog, as it’s been distinctly absent in recent posts (few and far between as I have posted).
So I thought I’d post some pictures of my Christmas tree and decorations!
(in case you’re interested, my birthday improved considerably when I got home – flowers outside the front door, everything I need to make cocktails including mixing set, martini glasses, recipe book and booze, a future weekend way in a gothic guesthouse in Whitby and a delicious meal with my husband. Lucky wife).
Tree by day and by night
Close ups of my decorations – all purple, white and silver, with glitter, mirror balls, pine cones, jungle bells, beads and snowflakes
These glass angels are my absolute favourite – so delicate.
I’ve got a snowy white wreath on the inside of my front door (this is entwined with tiny fairy lights which I couldn’t capture on a photograph)
I’ve Christmassed up my tall twigs (an Ikea staple!) They’re usually in the lounge but we have to move them into the hall to accommodate the tree)
How cute is this sparkly wooden sign? I picked it up in Poundland last week for – you guessed it – £1!
And, to further Christmas the crap out of this post, here’s a fabulous new (to me) festive ditty from Kelly Clarkson that is sure to have you tapping your foot and ready to crack open the Baileys. It’s a new entry into my top 5! (I’m not actually sure what my top 5 is, but this would definitely be in it).
Are you all ready for Christmas? I’d love to see your trees and decorations- send me your links!
Thanks, as always, for reading! x
Aaw lovely post. Your house looks lovely and Christmassy. Glad you had a lovely birthday in the end. I’m sure Whitby will be great☺ xx
