At last I have time for some jolly-fication, adornment and embellishment of my kitchen here down the Lane.
Hmm, first on my hit list, the sideboard that houses my china.
Take some cheap red baubles from Sainsbogs and tie onto some raffia, voila!
That was fun!
Now these sparkly fellas were recycled from last year's presents, my Magpie tied them onto all our presies!
I have included them especially for the sweet and generous
Michela, Little Secrets from my garden. You are so kind Michela x
Oh, and I used to make these sequin puddings to sell and give as presents but they became so expensive to make I haven't made any this year!
Looks pretty in this vintage red goblet.
A little more fiddling over here
That'll do now Sarah!
Next the old fashioned, coloured flower lights!
Yay, I really like these they make me very happy indeed!
And then I walk with Mr. Buster Boodle along the Lane and am reminded at just how brilliantly nature festoons and decorates.
Simply beautiful.
You can see some gorgeous hand crafted natural decs
here at
Elspeth Thompsons Blog.
Have a lovely decorative week x
To my beloved Cornwall for the festivities
Magpie came and dropped off a delightful basket of presents......
And as always they are beautifully decorated, this year with jewelled birdies in all colours, I especially like the look of this red sparkly chap.
These are my presents ready to go home with her, I too have a sparkly birdy label theme!
Another arrival in the post, can you guess who it's from?
Yes, from Nicky at the Vintage Magpie "Olivia" has arrived just in time to join in the festive chaos here down the Lane.
I hope you are all busy filling your homes with friends, fizz and happiness x
In the meadow we can build a snowman
The first snowfall is so romantic.
Snow cloaks the familiar and turns them into wonder-lands over night.
You can find this here
The hideaway for Lara and Zhivago, wonderful
So magical to think of children waking up this Morning and hoping that the weather has delivered a festive dusting of snow....
Have a wonderful weekend x
Light Levels were too low really so forgive the wobby nature of these pics but I just had to get out there! Buster Boodle started barking at the snow at 5.50am!
Look at the ridiculous amount deposited on one of our garden benches!
That was fun!
