Living in such a wee space I cannot decorate on a grand scale so I choose a few token touches to add a little of the festive spirit. We purchase a live tree about a week before the 24th and then we really get serious and lay on the shine and sparkle.
In the mean time...
The front door must be dressed and a wreath is a "must have."
I prefer natural and organic accents.
This will last throughout the season because the climate here is cool to cold.
If you were in a hot spot you'd need to mist this daily.
A small tree which I will wrap in some sparkly garland closer to Christmas
for now it will just be green.
Paper whites
bulbs of distinction
they grow tall and bear the prettiest white flowers
which have a rich and heady perfume.
I use this glass building block for paper whites every year.
The glass beads can be purchased at most home decor stores.
It's busy times here in The Humble Bungalow.
Mr. HB is stringing up the exterior white lights
while I am inside tidying up and doing laundry
(and yes, I'm blogging!)
How are you dressing your home for the season?
