I know some of you may have seen all of this before, but the projects I've
been working on today aren't ready, so I'm doing a little house tour !
I had fun trying out THREE mantles here but opted to go back to the original one because it ties in with the decor on the Christmas tree, and because I'm a sentimentalist. These little decs have been with me for ages and maybe they are too tacky or twee, but I love them !

I really liked my mantle with 'a little bit of bling', so I moved it onto the sideboard in the dining room.
I added this large cloche, that wouldn't have fitted on my mantle.
And also this storm lantern with shells, which is from our bedroom.
The hall.
My old wreath with a quick makeover ( Yes I know - the front door really needs painting !)
I did put up a little 'garland' in my kitchen yesterday.
One packet of ikea biscuits (I couldn't believe there was actually ten inside, for £1.00 !!!).
Some little ribbons and a bit of string !
The kitchen smells great ( my old geezer has already eaten the other packet I bought, as they smelled so good).
And finally - my favourite Santa, candles, a tea light holder and my grandmother's mini Christmas tree.
The garlands !?! Well I still have a few days yet, and also there is the dining table to do.
(I'm still hoping I'll have time to paint it first !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Here's wishing everyone who sees this a very Merry Christmas x

I'm loving the cookie ornaments!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! Merry Christmas Fiona!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I'm a huge fan of all of the mercury glass, I love a little sparkle and glamour!
ReplyDeleteWell look at you just go with all that decorating!! You've certainly outdone me. ;) I think it's great that you decided to keep some of the older ornaments and decorations that you have. Sure it's nice to have a room that looks like it fell out of Pottery Barn but I'd trade it in any day for one that's filled with things that hold meaning and make me smile. I can tell your decorations mean something to you more than just whether they make the house look pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteThat cookie garland is adorable too! I love that idea. I don't think they'd last long around my house. My hubby would devour them. ;)
Have a wonderful holiday!
So pretty. I love the cookies hung up with ribbon....I think I love it all.
