miss b loves ...... festive decorations, classic, modern and quirky too!



Decorating for Christmas is all part of the festivities and this year like last, the lounge has a classic deep red and gold theme .........






It's always good to bring out those favourite little items which hold special memories .....and remind us of all Christmases past... but every year more paint peels off the Father Christmas Babushka dolls!



The wooden crib scene, which we brought back from a trip to Bethlehem several years ago, is always the last one to be hung on the tree ....it's somehow become a tradition! 



Elsewhere, it's a brighter, more modern look...



We were determined to keep the twig tree minimalist again this year but I couldn't resist buying two new decorations.........






A quirky Father Christmas ... I was instantly attracted to his neutral outfit!


Cute new plates to serve mince pies ........


We always listen to Christmas carols and songs as we decorate the house....another tradition!



...and finally ... I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! A huge thank you too for visiting my blog this year. I love to read your comments and it's the positive feedback which really makes writing the posts so worthwhile. So many of you lead busy lives and yet you still find time to pop over here! 


I'm taking a break for a couple of weeks but I look forward to 'seeing' you again in January 2014 ........ 

Merry Christmas to you all!

  27. Well, Happy Christmas to you too. That twig tree is amazing. I've never really seen anything like that before, it's quite unique and such a nice touch; it's perfectly positioned in the window corner. How lovely that you can use decorations that you have bought on your travels. I wont tell you where most of my decorations come from ha ha. You are definitely in the Christmas spirit which is lovely to see.

    Thank you for your kind words on my blog - I appreciate your visits too!
    Best wishes x

  29. I was just telling Jess that I love my traditional ornaments but I also love the whimsical ones too, and I saw many out there this year. Your ornaments are so pretty, and how special is that ornament from Bethlehem. I can see why you put it out every year.

    Merry Christmas, my sweet friend.

    Love,

  30. These are great! I do a mix on my tree as well of hallmark ornaments, vintage, and homemade. I didn't put up my big tree this year due to my Mom being ill all year, but we have smaller ones which we keep up all year that are great. I love all the decorations that have meaning to them. My Mom made many ceramic items which we take out each year. It has been so great meeting you through blogging and I wish you the best Christmas in 2013!!

A blogger is sending me a mince pie. I can't wait to taste it. I've always heard about them, but never had one. Enjoy your time off! So deserving. I'm on a limited holiday schedule myself. We all need a break. HAHAHA
