 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

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










CANDLES

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

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
