Yes, we all know what is around the corner. And the best part about Christmas - besides the seafood feast and lolling in the pool all day- is decorating the house and tree with all the trinkets we have kept hidden in the cupboard for the last eleven months!
Each year, my decorations just love being pulled out of their brown boxes and paper wrappings. I enjoy revealing each one as they have all been given to me by someone close or have come from a special place that I wanted to take a part of with me...
Mum gives me a decoration each year. This little house and the white heart were this year's treat - from Mum #1. They come from 'Tres Chic', a magical shop full of treasures on Ferry Road, Bundall.
I think I will keep the heart out all year round!

One of Mrs Tiff's starry creations!
I love this quirky madam. From relatives in Canada...I'm not sure if she reminded them of me...'born to shop'..?

This one comes from a shop in Ulverstone, Tasmania called 'Dragonfly'. It is one of my favourite places ever to shop and wander. A must see if you ever go there.

From Mum #6No Christmas is complete without a resident Santa!
The berry ball -from Mum #7 - and usually sits atop the Christmas cake on the 25th. As we are going out for lunch this year, it makes a sweet accompaniment to some warming Christmas candles instead.

I love those decorations! They are real treasures and wonderful keepsakes when they are given to you by someone special.... your nest is looking very festive! X
