Christmas Trees at the Garden Centre

I would like to wish you all a belated Happy Thanksgiving (those of you who celebrated it last week). Hope you all had a lovely time.

I went to our local garden centre & really enjoyed their decorations so much that had to share some photos with you all. I thought they were much better than last years. They seem to have used a lot of ribbon in the trees, which I believe is popular in the U.S, but not over here so it is really refreshing to see. I thought they were beautiful. 

The decorating of our house is finally coming to an end, hopefully the carpets will be all done by the end of the week & I will be able to put out our Christmas decorations. I can't wait. I'm also hoping to make a new wreath if I get some free time. Hope you all are having a great week.

These upside down trees have lately become very popular for those  with very limited space in their homes.

An alternative tree! Not sure where you would store it the erst of the year though.

Mum's Christmas wreath

I'd like to welcome the new followers, it is lovely to "meet" you :)

As you know my mum has been making me the Mrs Clause Maternity cardigan which is now finished & I'll share photos with you later this week. I decided to make her a Christmas wreath to say thanks for her hard work.  Her tree is all gold colour so I used only gold for the wreath. She really liked it & has already put it up and won't take it down until Christmas :)

It is a bit different from the one I made last year, if you'd like to look at that one then please click HERE and if you wish to watch a quick video of it from my youtube channel, then please click here.
Hope you like these photos and hope that you are starting a nice week wherever you are.
