Little by little. . . room by room. . . I’ve transformed every nook and cranny of my house into a Christmas wonderland.
There’s baubles, garlands and twinkling lights. . .
there’s Santa’s, reindeers, angels and quite a few SNOWMEN
WHAT!!!. . . now that is really out of place for a shabby little cottage by the sea in the middle of summer!!
My family think I’ve gone nuts. . . and maybe I have. . . but I’ve always loved the quirkiness of these little snow characters. We live in a year round warm climate where snow is never going to fall, so these guys would look out of place even in winter.
This year I decided that it was my time to have a snowman theme and have dedicated my kitchen to a red and blue winter theme.
But that’s not the only reason my family think I’m crazy. . . just ask my youngest daughter who asked “what family has a tree hanging in their kitchen?”
Hmmm. . . I kind of liked the white branch with blue baubles and glittery icicles!!
As you can see I’ve added a few more handmade red and blue items which had given our normally shabby white coastal look a fresh and colourful make-over.
So now I’d like to know how you have decorated. . . it is after all
