Christmas Tuesday

Well we are getting close and all is good here. Trees are up- and almost down again ( Neve pulls all the decs off!). Finally finished the new garland- man it was harder than it looks... How James managed it with three kiddos I don't know. Hope you are all having a great Christmas prep time too. xxxx

Angel Chimes

These are lovely aren't they and I think I love the reproduction packaging faithful to the original boxes as much as the contents. We have some as a secret Christmas present so can't wait to see them in action.

Till Tuesday

A wee bit of snow is FINE- anymore and I will not be happy.Well really in Scotland its not just the snow, its the fluctuating temperatures. The black ice from the freezing temps is the worst.

So on Tuesday this week we kept warm, played in the snow a tiny bit. This was Nevie's first time walking in snow, she loved it! We started some Christmas decorating with beautiful twisted beech cut offs from my friend. The Oh Joy pipe cleaner words are to be covered in yarn and added to a garland inspired by James from Bleubird Vintage. Thank you James!

Very, VERY stormy here in Glasgow today, so battening down the hatches and gin and tonic in hand! xx

Shopping, shopping, shopping

Small details from some gifts I have bought- well the ring was a present to me.........

I am trying as much as possible to avoid the mad dash Christmas shopping and keep things as thoughtful as we can.

Lots of good things for this weeks Tuesday to be posted soon. xx

Gone, Gone Gone

I have always been the same- I see something then I am fixated on it and must have it. This is how it is with these toadstool and wee hanging parcel deccies from IKEA. Hung on a lovely branch, you get it they would be really lush. But they are gone, yes gone, gone, gone.....

Snowy Monday

Woke to snow this morning- Finn LOVED it and is as high as a kite! David and I felt our hearts sink a wee bit- lots of snow clearing and just the 'hassle' factor it poses.

Popped round to a friends house for some lovely branches to use for decorations- curled birch and they are beautiful. I will post some pictures in a bit.

Off today for some Christmas prep and a dentist visit- Yay and not yay all in the one day! x

Till Tuesday

The wee one LOVES bears and nearly was off with this one- an early morning trip to our local garden centre for some craft supplies (yes they sell Everything!).

I know, I know more things- but how could I resist the lovely Nicky's shop Raggle Taggle Hawker and her Black Friday sale. I admired these egg cups for a while and I also got the sweet butterfly mug to add to my collection. Its nice to find Nicky's shop as it is so my thing. Please check it out again if you haven't before. x

Well we had a great Ikea trip in the afternoon- great because N can walk now and toddling about in the kids play area in the cafe meant I could enjoy a cuppa sitting down for a second!

A good friend of mine hosted a fab dinner a few weeks ago- her sweet friend cooked an AMAZING meal and the table was set with the lovely table runner pictured. I really wanted it for our Christmas table- so a red theme abounds. xx
