 READY SET GO... TIME TO DECORATE


I am sure many of you are Christmas addicts, love to light the candles, hang the stockings, setup the tree fill the place with Christmas decorations.  I am one who loves to get the things up a little early, so I can sit and enjoy it in the evenings . The lights all aglow, the sparkle of the shiny ornaments that are so dazzling.  Nothing is more special and memorable as that.

I can remember as a kid the excitement of going to get a tree at the tree lots. Later we had a large artificial one, a real pain to set up. My mom bought it , but never could manage to put it together- it was the sort with the coloured tips that you had to place into the corresponding hole.. grr  such a pain.

When I moved from home i got one that you simply open up like an umbrella, such a breeze simple and easy. But one winter we did head out to the woods to cut our own tree, for my son. He was so proud when he dragged it out. His own little tree.

Yes such happy memories! And now i am living halfway around the world , and doing much the same things.  Decorating , baking, making a special christmas dinner.

I started to make some natural decorations for outdoors ,  a pot filled with evergreens, branches  some ornaments , a mini lantern to hold a candle.  Then tied up some silver bows, made from coffee liners on the metal shelf. So it is starting to get the Christmassy feel. 

What are some of  the things you do or make to give your space that Christmassy feel?



Some simple cozy  Decorating  ideas  to try for  Christmas.


An INVITING SPOT

A bit of plaid goes a long way. Love this cozy rustic look, mini trees, wreath, pillow.



VILLAGE SCENES
I have always loved the winter village scenes , these one made of paper 
are so simple and lovely.



GARLAND and TREE BOUGH
how simple and nice statement look




MUSIC  is something that Christmas is all about. 
What a nice way to decorate using music sheets.  










CANDLES
never can have enough for a cozy winter night!




 



NATURAL TWIG WREATH 
love the simplicity and colours, using simple twigs, pinecones, 
berries and that adorable bird ornament.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
