Scented candles and tea
lights to delight the senses...
A string of fairy lights
adding just the right warm
and friendly look...
Turning the home into a
wonderland...
Decorating a real fresh-cut
tree..
Red apples... they just ooze Christmas vibes!
Firing up the oven to create
something that looks
beautiful and smells divinely...
Festive mood with a
tartan touch...
Nothing gets me faster
in the holiday mood than an
indulgent afternoon of high tea and classical music…
English bone china plates and tea cups
for
my tea service.
Gold and crystal ornaments for
our Christmas tree this year...
hope my tizzy for colours gives you some inspiration...
Thank you so much for visiting my space.
I'm really sorry I'm still invisible on yours.
It isn't my fault! It's Instagram in the middle!
May you have a peaceful countdown to Christmas
Warm regards to you all!

ReplyDeleteYour home looks very warm and inviting this holiday season Olympia. Afraid our decorations are still a bit limited to a poinsettia, ceramic pomegranate and some red candles but it is better than the way it looked last year. It is a magical time of year, especially here in The Mani. Our time is growing way too short here so I am already counting the weeks until we return! Hugs, Jackie

You have so many touches that drew me in Olympia. The gingham ribbon, the plaid throw, the bone china, the crystal and gold ornaments, and the pom poms! I can't tell if that is a pillow or throw, but no matter. I love pom poms!
ReplyDeleteI've been terrible too about visiting. Thank you for giving me the kick in the butt I needed. Happy holidays to you.

Dear Olympia, Your home looks so festive and cozy for Christmas. I loved it all - the tea cups, the cute cloth doll, the reideer. And that red plaid throw is just what I've been looking for. It's so nice to keep you warm on those cold nights.

Je viens de m'attarder avec un immense plaisir chez vous... Je resterais bien davantage, tant on se sent bien en compagnie de ce petit lutin qui veille et toute cette atmosphère festive. Une belle invitation à partager une tasse de thé avec quelques douceurs auprès de votre coin de cheminée.
Votre tartan est magnifique et lumineux... j'aime beaucoup.
Je vous souhaite des moments heureux et remplis de joie.
What a warm atmosphere you have created! A nice cup of tea among all your beautiful decorations must be the perfect thing to do. I really like everything you showed us.
