Xmas Decs..
(From Horsefall & Wright)
What sort of style is your Christmas tree? Monochrome? Minimal white? Decadent perhaps? I’d say mine is definitely ‘eclectic’ where anything goes – Christmas isn’t something I can contain with a single theme..I like my decorations to be treasures collected over the years which are a joy to see again, carefully unwrapping them from their tissue slumber. For me Christmas is sparkly wonder that sings a siren call to my inner magpie..I’m virtually powerless to resist..but I do try and limit my decoration purchase to one special one each year. And this delicate bauble of happiness in honour of our dog Molly (nice excuse) is this year choice of delight..but there’s a delicious range of tantalising gorgeousness…
(Now..how could I let this cute beauty slip through my fingers??!..Molly needs a friend!)

I too limit myself to one new tree decoration each year but it’s difficult to resist buying more. I love the polar bear, he might even encourage the other half to get in the spirit of the season!
There’s a wonderful sense of humour to these as well as a lovely vintage feel..I do love them x
At least, if these ravishing tiny animals are locked in a bubble, I won’t be allergic to them ! Seriously, It’s beautiful to honor Molly with your Xmas decorations ! I love the polar bear a lot ! xxxxx
My sister gets terrible allergies..particularly hay fever. She’s been undertaking a series of injections (takes three years) to see if it will help..I know it drives her mad xxx
Poor lady, I know how it feels but I had to stop the injections (I was doing it myself in my arm yuck !) ’cause I suffered from too many allergens. I truly hope that your sister will be luckier ! xxx
As long as the kids live at home (and are still into Christmas..) our tree will definitely be eclectic rather than minimalistic or stylish. But truth be told I wouldn’t have it any other way! X
Are you good and allow the children to hand them? or does your inner divine diva come out? I let them hang…but then re-arrange once they have gone to bed!! xxx
Ha ha, yes that’s me as well! And then the kids get annoyed that their homemade creations no longer have pride of place…And my husband just shakes his head and wonders why any of it matters at all. xxx
cool!!!
My Christmas tree will be creative and coloured!!!
The best way! Although I do have to have white lights….et tu?! x
I don’t celebrate Xmas but those are the cutest ever!
The ornaments are so cute! And your post has reminded me that I have to bring out my tiny christmas tree from the copboard! X
Y’see – you WILL have a Christmas tree! I have a really naff one I painted in a pottery glass..at the ends of the branches are little lights that turn on when it’s plug in! Wish I’d painted it better!! X
I like Christmas decorations that have accumulated over the years and have layers of memories and meaning. I don’t want a matchy-matchy Pinterest Christmas!
I have strings of gold painted macaroni pasta that must be 14 years old!
The owl is definitely my favorite! I have a tree, but it’s super small since I live in a small place- I’m eager to have a tree with ornaments one day soon!! xo
I will have to do a post on the forgotten art of paperchains just for you! x
Adore your new ornament + agree, fave Christmas trees are the “living” scrapbook type…
the ones that mark time and tell stories…
enjoy your “living” tree~ xo
Thank you! I do use just red baubles and just gold tinsel to pull it all together..I will post a pic when it’s up x
Got to have them!
I just want to eat them!
They are all adorable. With the years I’ve come to use more & more LED’s and fresh green.
Congratulations to your award. xxx
Kisses to you! I have my wreath making creative coffee evening today..can’t wait! xxx
I wish I could come. Have fun !xxx
You find the cutest itty bitty things! My tree? Nonexistent at the moment so I’ll have to fix that. I’ll get an itty bitty tree but put giant baubles! x
Big balls eh? Why am I not surprised?! x
Eclectic ornaments in boxes: elves, czech blown glass, a pickle, wood, handmade, photos, etc. All in boxes, all in storage. We use a replica “Charlie Brown Christmas” tree, one red ball ornament. It makes me very happy~
If you are happy..I’m happy! xxx
Love these ornaments! I tried to do a “themed” tree one year and it just felt wrong. I now have a tree that includes a lot of my childhood ones, as well. It makes me much happier.
For me it’s like houses..I like modern..but it has to have a few old things in it to give it soul x
Me too! 🙂
I have a tree that has everything on it. Including my cat, Mr. Jones. I try and make a special ornament each year-some years more successfully than others. This year I’ve already bought a moose and an elk ornament. How could I resist? My fav year was the year we did a ocean theme and made kelp from felt and fish and coral and octopi and…it was pretty spectacular! This year we’re doing silver, red and black. Supposedly.
I like the ‘supposedly’!..now an Ocean theme..pretty radical for Christmas..not one that rapidly springs to mind!! xxx
e tu? ahahhahaha
You’re so funny. Italian translation: ”sei molto simpatica!!!”
Have a nice day!
Bacci to you! x
ha ah
Love these baubles but my problem would be……how do they breath?…I can’t put any animal like thing in a bag….soft toy or otherwise. Bonkers I know but I would spend all Xmas thinking how can I lift that dome off!!!xx
LOL! y’see they come alive at night and the glass turns into a mere bubble, which the fairies have to re-blow before dawn….
Fairies blowing before dawn?!! Perfect xx
Seeing is believing!
