Well, well, well. Against all belief, it is infact time to 'deck the halls with bells of holly'. I honestly can't believe it (sure I say this every year!) Is this time again! Sunday 9th December 2012, and the day we shall turn our home into Santa's grotto. We are pretty low-key Christmas people, especially when it comes to the decorations. But what we do have, I just love. We bought everything together when we moved into our first house and nor really changed much! First things first: I HATE coloured lights. Yellow/white all the way. Colours are just too tacky! Our tree is a 6ft (fake) slim line tree which is perfect for us, beautifully understated. With only gold/silver/cream/wood items hung from it. Most of the items are hand-made in Cornwall. We have some baulbals and instead of tinsel we prefer beads. Finally, we have beautiful gifts of tree decorations which makes it even more specular.
Other festive touches include 2x stockings, hung on the fireplace of course.
Garland along our wooden beams & on the fireplace -a new addition this year courtesy of my mother-in-law :)
And another favourite is my home-made festive oranges! Large oranges stabbed with lots of whole clothes hung with a beautiful Christmas ribbon!
Our house looks so festive now, and this is our first Christmas in our cottage, which incidentally is made for this time of year! Starting to get excited for father Christmas coming now!
Cornish Beauty.
