Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Christmas and the holidays isn't about fancy trees, doesn't matter if it's fake or real, wooden or aluminum.  It's not about who has the best decorated house or how many lights you have.  Good old Charlie Brown would tell you ..."it's about hope".  Now that's what I call spirit!  

Here are some of my favorite "Charlie Brown Trees"

  

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!

Sunday

Well it's been a busy weekend, daughters' birthday, family over, trying to get the house decorated for the holidays...phew!  Secretly somehow I love it .  I did manage to get a few more holiday projects done, and this year, my goal is to try to honour nature and implement the "use what you have" philosophy.  So far so good! Here are my latest bits. 

Easy to make stars with sticks found in the forest and tied with hemp string. 

The wine bottles are just spray painted with glossy white paint, filled with greenery found outdoors.  How easy and pretty! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here...

...HAPPY SUNDAY!

A Personal Touch In Denmark

Simplicity, warmth and a personal touch is created in this renovated 50th Century Danish villa in Klampenborg, a town just north of Copenhagen.  Hot cocoa and Glögg on the porch would be my favourite place to be:)

DIY Advent Calendar

I decided to make an advent calendar this year.  Turned out pretty good for a first timer, and I found the perfect spot to hang it.  I'm actually really loving it and adds to the cosy feel in my home. 

Took me two days, but all that was needed was some newspaper to make the cones, plain white copy paper to make the snowflakes, paint for the snowflakes, (I choose three colours; patina, linen & copper from Folkart paints),  and hemp string. EASY! Love to hear more DIY ideas for advents:)  Thanks for reading!

Christmas Cosiness
