I had it all ready, to be truthful it was complete on Sunday, with photographs taken, but Monday went by in a blur....
Here is the vase, a heavy brass container of which I shall say a little more another time. In went some greenery from the garden, mistletoe left over from my botanical art class, and some old man's beard gathered on our country walk.
We no longer put up a Christmas Tree which we gave away along with many of the decorations November 2023, and the Chimney Breast is now the focus of decorations...gradually some favourite old decorations were added. We also no longer send out Christmas Cards. I have over the last few years cut and cut, and this year went cold turkey! We are not having any turkey either....
A couple of strings of lights completes the look.
Happy Christmas to Cathy who hosts this weekly get together, and to all the people who contribute their arrangements via a link to Rambling in the Garden, and of course best wishes to all who visit my posts.
It is a lovely Christmas arrangement Noelle, especially with the lighting. The old man's beard is really effective, giving it a snowy look. I hope you have something delicious instead of turkey, and enjoy a happy and peaceful Christmas with your loved ones.
