My house is now fully decorate for Christmas. Even my tree is up and this is really reallly early for Norway. People normally put up most of their decorations a few days before Christmas and the tree on the 23rd. But since I'm away for the holidays, I want to enjoy my own stuff now.
A lot of the decor I have also have a sentimental value for me, so I thought I'd share them with you:
This is my little Christmas heart from Nille (www.nille.no) that goes up in my dining room window, which means whenever I get home in the evenings I can see it from afar.
This brass candelabra I got from a friend of mine several years ago. She had one during a dinner at her place and I said. Where'd you get that one, I've been wanting one myself. And she said: I got two, you can have one.
The table runner I've had since I was young so that has to come out.
I love these little tea candle holders from the brand Jette Frölich that I got from a friend many years ago. You get such lovely light from them. The three wise men snow globe my mother gave me a few years ago.
The advent star is a must. There are so many lovely advent stars to buy these days. But I optet for this metal one because it's similar to the one my parents have and what I grew up with *sings "Tradition" from "Fiddler on the roof"*
This lovely Christmas angel I bought at Harrods in London quite a few years ago. It was horribly epensive at the time (about £40), but I just fell in love with it from the moment I saw it.
The little candle holder in front I bought at Santa's house in Drøbak a few years ago.
This little candle holder is perhaps what is most dear to me. It used to belong to my granmother who passed away in 2009. I remember she had this and I always admired it and I was really delighted when got to take it home (which was long before her death).
This table decoration I bought at a small flower shop close to where my granmother used to live (see above). It was one of those things I fell for immediately and I remember I buying it whilst on my way to visiting my gran. I showed her and we both agreed that it was a beautiful piece. As the years have passed this ting has become quite a bit more shabby (particularly since a certain furball loved to chew on it as a kittem) but I will always keep it I think. It reminds me of my gran.
Do you have any fave holiday pieces?
Before I take my leave, I want to thank everyone who drops by my blog. The stats are always a nice read whenever I log on here. Much appreciated!
I wish everyone a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2017!
