Daisy's decorations

A few Christmas photos as promised.

The kitchen after the stainless steal cupboards were removed.

For now I have added a couple of shelves until

the work surfaces are replaced

and the walls are re-tiled.

They have also aloud extra space for a few festive trimmings....

and twinkly lights.

Holly from the garden, heart wreaths and snowflakes

in the kitchen window.

After a two year search I have found the tree

from my childhood to display my vintage baubles.

While helping to put Mums tree up last week my sister and I found a box

of glass baubles belonging to our grandparents.

This one was among them.

The lilac bell was on the Christmas tree

when I was a child and I love it.

I found this scarlet childs dress in France a

couple of years ago.

I've embroidered 'Joyeux Noel' on the

front of it and hung it in the kitchen.

A simple addition but another favourite.

A quick picture of the tree.

My first year without a real tree.

I have to say I miss the smell of pine

but I like the fact that this tree will stay

looking the same until I take it down in the new year.

Last years real tree looked shocking by Boxing Day!

Ahh! Now for the mystery shot from last night!

Looking for some inspiration for wall spaces

I sat and looked through my Dottie Angel book

Tif had laid wooden reels on vintage fabric

in the shape of a heart.

I started arranging my jar of reels on the table...
hmmm.....
 I wonder if I stick a few nails in the freshly painted wall?

Ha! It worked!!!

I love the mixture of colours.

I love the hanging thread.

I love the labels
and I love the fact that no one can moan that I've done it!

Not the most obvious things to have on the wall

but I'm thrilled with it.

What do you think?

Thanks for reading and for the lovely comments yesterday.

Love
