Ho Ho HO part 2

Sparkly and fairy lighty is the theme for today. I finally found my christmas spirit....(of the spicy mulled kind) and its starting to look a bit more festive around here.... I've had my annual pre-christmas meltdown (think Shrek 3 and the "do the roar" bit!!) so now thats out of the way its on with the jolly stuff........

......like this chap ....paperchase again :)

We're having a white christmas here this year...whatever the weather..... and Arnie gets his own sparkly 'game show host' style collar.
Its a busy week with school plays and gatherings and me trying to finish off my handmade gifts so I am taking a little blog break for now and will be back in January 2011!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing you a lovely sparkly week and a Fabby, Happy, Jolly, Peaceful and Fun Christmas

Ho Ho Ho

Just another quick post today, to share a christmas fave........quite a few years ago, when the boys were tiny, I wandered into Woolies and came out with a cheap christmas video, I had never heard of it before but the picture on the case swung it....I took it home, we all watched and there began my total love affair with J.Otto Siebold and Olive the other Reindeer....

Years on its still my favourite christmas film/book. I even have the pop up advent calendar and our dog (see last post) bears an uncanny resemblance to Olive. All his books are amazing.........pop one on your christmas list if its not too late x x x x x

Stay warm :)

P.S I'm having a little coupon code offer in my etsy shop, 10% off item price if you type in HOHOHO25 at checkout................:)

Hello

Its been a while, I seem to have fallen off the Teawagon and am having trouble jumping back

on....

time is running away....I know a lot of people are feeling the same at the moment so I'll say a

quick hello....goodbye...see you soon :)

(He's got the best idea......curl up in patch of sun and let the world go by!)

Have a lovely... almost advent week :)

WallpApeR LovE

The wallpaper is up!!! After trawling through the Internet trying to find suitable designs...... 3!!!!!!!! came into my possession in less than 3 days... the debate was all over and the pasting table was out before we'd had breakfast!!...... no time to read the directions on how to mix wallpaper paste.....no time for toast!....... no time to find that thingy with the bubble in that tells you if its straight!! I really couldn't contain myself, there I was with not one but three fabby mcfab wallpapers....... so instead of choosing one I went for all of them.



The middle one is my favourite, I love gingham and although this probably should be sitting on a wall next to a little fifties dresser full of cups and plates in a kitchen, I love it in its little bedroom collage mode, the right one is very retro and really bright and the left one I wasn't as keen on but with its little friends it has shone!!! The fact that I found this one in a funny little shop where the only way of getting my hands on it were to use a golf club to hook it while almost disappearing into a pile of (not very nice) vintage fabrics and old Christmas trees makes me love it a little more.

So here it is in all its glory, my first attempt at wallpapering !!! I almost wanted to sleep the other way round so I could gaze at its jumbly,patchwork loveliness....I also found my much coveted Charlie Browns pathetic Christmas tree this weekend ( again procured with the golf club!) but that's for another day I think :)

Have a lovely week x x x x x x

The post about doing stuff

I am having a making and finding week, searching for lovely vintage linens, christmas whatnots and wallpapers. The latter is for home as I have decided that covering the walls with some floral tribute to the 70's is exactly what is needed at the moment.

I have brought home some very dubious samples which were met with much amusement, luckily my other half knows I go with what I like anyway, (the more they laugh ...the more I order...) Some new bags are waiting to go on the littleteawagon shelves and I'm hoping it will be a productive week all round.....

Have a lovely week :)
