Oh Christmas Tree...



A number of friends have been asking me to post some photos up of our tree and some of the presents I have already wrapped and there are many more toys for little girls, including for our Isabelle, to wrap yet!
Each year we have a 'live' tree - I can't go past the smell of the pine... despite some of the initial mishaps each year in getting it to stand up! We each have special ornaments with our names - a new addition is for Miss Isabelle, and each year since we have been married I have ensured to collect a 'year ornament' [i.e. 2010]. My mother-in-law loves Christmas and collects special ornaments from each city & country she has visited - there are a lot of pretty ones! 
This year I have coordinated some of my gift tags with my wooden heart ornaments to add a folkloric feel. None the less I'm very pleased with our little tree...Hope you like it too.

A Christmas Vignette...




I put together this little arrangement earlier in the week with some rogue branches from my magnolia grandiflora tree and some new ornaments I bought this year. You probably already know of my obsession with typeface - so you'll understand why I love my new 'peace', 'joy', and 'noel' ornaments - not to forget the silver initials I also found for us three 'M' for my husband, Matthew, an 'S' for me, and an 'I' for Isabelle, our baby girl! Hope you like it!
See what you can find in your garden to create a little Christmas in favourite vase or jug.... Enjoy,
