It's tree week!
With the holiday decorating in full swing, I am obsessing a little over trees.
These are my favourite sort of trees at the moment.
Today I will be skulking (even the word sounds fun, really :)
around the woods behind my place to find some large branches...
Sparkle.
Color.
Simplified color.
I sort of love this for Christmas.
Let's just skip the baubles..
but I'd like something a bit more tactile,
and voila-
the winner!
There's nothing quite like wool knits for the winter - mittens, sweaters, throws, pillows
I'm a yarn junkie :)
Can't wait to get them made!
And a few of these to decorate the presents -
we made those last year as well.
Am working on the finishing bits for the chandelier today,
so I will post pics of the branches and that shortly, hope you can stop by.
Just wanted to share a bit of good news and a HUGE thank you before I go -
I won two giveaways on Monday :)
The first from Natalie at The Daily Imprint,
was for these adorable holiday decorations,
generously gifted by the talented women of Polli:
Natalie is a Deputy Editor on Real Living Magazine, and it shows in her writing :)
She features fresh, insightful interviews with interesting creative minds frequently on her blog.
Stop by, you'll enjoy it.
The second giveaway, from the charming Jennifer at Rambling Renovators,
was a pair of tix for The One of A Kind Christmas Show & Sale.
Will be heading down there this Sunday :)
Their blog follows Jennifer, husband and daughter Chloe (great name :)
as the super-talented couple renovate their home in Toronto.
There's heaps of great DIY and beautiful design - it's one of my favourite reads.
Thank you so much, ladies.
You made my week!
til next time..
