I've just been out this evening delivering presents to some of my friends - I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of my friend Debbie's Christmas tree in her little cottage and thought you might like to see...
It is festooned in lengths of antique lace, old chandelier crystals, vintage pearl necklaces and a few special glass baubles that she has collected.
The twinkling red fairy lights complete the picture.
In the window sits an old
Singer sewing machine and a few of her favourite treasures.

The Christmas decorations continue in the living room with a festive garland over the mantelpiece, antique French embroidered holly pelmet, and a woollen stocking waiting for Santa to visit.
Have a cosy evening,
