I had given up on the idea of getting any fairy lights for my little tree, and not wanting her to stay quite as naked as she was, I hung a few little decorations and some candy canes.
Tucked in and tied carefully on are my little Emma Bridgewater china cups and jug from last year. As the tree is on the thoroughfare to my bathroom, kitchen area and front door it's the most used part of the lodge, so although the bows are pretty ... the knots are tight!! And it's handy that me and the animals got used to walking through the narrow gap while the tree was naked. 😀
Now I have just discovered a box of fairy lights that Alan doesn't want to put anywhere so I have commandeered them, hopefully they will drape far enough from the plug socket to reach along the radiator cover to the tree.
Day 19 of the Advent calendar and am now the owner of a little pot of face cream.
I hope your weekend, the last one before Christmas, is going well.

What a ~darling~ tree and your mini EB mugs are delightful. I am afraid I'm far too clumsy and would be terrified of having breakables where I walk past every day.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous aren't they. I fell in love with them last year and when a 3 for 2 offer came into my inbox I just went for it. The jug with my name on stays out all year but the other two are Christmas treats and carefully packed away.
DeleteA tree, however small, makes a difference. Ours only just fitted in!
ReplyDeleteI made Jumbleberry Jam yesterday - 9 jars of it - to give as gifts to friends and new neighbours. If you're tempted, the recipe is on the BBC Food site and it is incredibly quick and straightforward. It uses those bags of frozen mixed berries from the supermarket.
Sadly I can't stand for long enough to make jam at the moment, but luckily I have enough homemade jams and marmalades to last at least 2 years. 😄
DeleteThanks for this - I LOVE the name and have plenty of fruit to use up in my freezer.
Deletexx
It is a great name isn't it, and will look better on the labels than my Compost Jelly 😄🤣
DeleteSue has got me looking at the books in the background too!!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is absolutely delightful and I love the decorations. Fingers crossed for the lights - a lucky discovery.

Haha, books make everything look better. I'll do a full book tour after Christmas. 😃
DeleteA gorgeous little tree. The lights will be lovely so I hope they reach!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking beautiful, I'll try and remember to get another photo. 🎄
DeleteSuch a dear little tree, it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, and what I like best is it doesn't look too fake as it has two different types of branch foliage. 🎄
DeleteThat's so sweet looking. The lights will be perfect to brighten up the winter nights!
ReplyDeleteWe really do need twinkly lights in these dark days of December don't we. ❤️🎄
DeleteGreat job on the tree decorating.
ReplyDeleteYou are teasing us with the titles of some of your books again.
God bless.
Haha, just a little. I promise a full book blog post in the new year, just as my year of no spending kicks off. 😀
DeleteLove your gorgeous little tree, just darling:) Fingers crossed the fairy lights work out. Adore the little EB mugs♥
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute aren't they, I loved tying them onto the tree with their beautiful ribbons. 🎀🎄🎀
DeleteI love fairy lights. and your tree is darling. I hope you feel well enough to enjoy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI know I really love it, it's the perfect size for my space. It will be quiet relaxing Christmas for sure.
