This is my ego-tree. It sits in the kitchen window after coming round to all the Christmas Craft Fairs. It is a shiny mirrored tree and has earned it's rest after 'The season'. It is my ego-tree as i hang all my own felt decorations on it from past and present seasons.
(and no tinsel either. I don't want to start a war about it but.... tinsel is just wrong....)
Cute ribbons tied to the top??? My what a great idea Kirsty. "Why thankyou myself, i thought so too"...
Handmade = now this is what i am talking about. My mostest treasured Christmas Cross-stitch picture. It sits above this mantle all year. Stitched by my Nanna in 1998. Given to me for Christmas that year. A lady who is now too blind to even read her clock. Handmade heirlooms are priceless.

Awwww, all that colour and coziness :)
I adore these bags.... "Liberty" darling, if you please. Shoe sketch by Andy Wathol. I *think* they were a gift from MrsB??? can you remember dearest? Are they from you? i love them to pieces, so very treasured.

My gnome boys - Bill and George. It is their first Christmas at my house and i think they are happy here. Handmade, but not by me. NorthfieldPrimitives x
And a swag of silver glittered holly along the fire place beam, with a cluster of white balls and shimmery Reindeer.
Awwww, all that colour and coziness :)

I love it when it's all ready. Decorating done. Cards sent.
I save all my gift wrapping till i am alone in the house and 'baby' is in bed, the house is decorated and the wine is chilled....

Hi
Found the blog a while ago through your button shop on Etsy (Yup, I also love my buttons). When I saw you also had a great love for felt I almost passed out!!
Anyway, I just mentioned your blog and your shops on my own blog. I hope that is okay with you.
