Hearts

December is finally here and I can start decorate for Christmas! Those who knows me know that I am a fan of natural colours and simple items, so no bling bling, plastic or red Santas at my house.... The little heart is handmade and bought at a market, and the other one is found in a supermarket. I just removed the red ribbon and the little bells, and attached a rough wool tread instead.

Voila...

Before and after I

 I've gone crazy again with my spray paint!

I found this old lamp in the basement which I blew the dust of and sprayed in white. Now it fits perfect in my kitchen window, even blends in with the white landscape outside.....

Place d'Armes

This afternoon we went to the christmas market at Place d'Armes. It was crowded as expected, but as long as we have a vin chaud to warm us and some sweet, we are all happy...

Advent

Christmas is getting closer.... This morning we lighted up the first candle in our "candlestick". To be honest we do not have any traditional candlestick for advent. Each year I change, from material to colours. So this year I found this rough and natural candle holder in plaited twigs. The candles are in a dusty, pink beige colour, and the numbers I wrote on some star shaped labels made of zinc which I pinned onto the candles.

Can't believe we woke up today to a white landscape and a new teen in the house!
Now we all look forward to celebrate with a restaurantvisit and the new Harry Potter movie.... sending a thought to my mohter in Norway who also has her birthday today, salut!
