Christmas in store.....

Jingle bells just oooozeee christmas and if shiny silver isnt your thing, then theres these fabulous earthy rusty ones......


These white glass baubles are just stunning, they are surprisingly tough (I accidentally dropped one and it bounced!) I dont think I'd have the same luck with the small white glass doves.... they are very delicate, but if you like bird decorations they are a must. We also have them in ribbed red glass.

I thought this green spotty bauble was a bit of fun and very festive. The large pink glass ribbed heart is oh so pretty and really doesnt have to be Christmas, I'd leave this one out all year round.

Birds and fruit are two popular decoration themes this year, and in contrast to the many glass decorations we have, these acrylic apple and bird dangles are very user friendly, not to mention sweet. 

Speaking of sweet, these bloated little glass mercury glass birds are perfect for a small tabletop tree.

Just for something different, we dabbled in a few pastels this season....


But red is always a Christmas classic, making these dainty ribbed red glass birds hard to resist.

Made locally, Jodi calls this soy wax candle "Christmas" but after burning one on our counter, we think it should be called "Gingerbread" or "Plum Pudding" because it smells so fabulous it kinda makes you hungry... We have the jar candles and bags of 12 tea lights candles available.

These red reindeer table runners will add christmas cheer to your table, why not run them from side to side accross the table (as pictured) and set two place settings on it.

Gold and Silver sequin birds that clip onto your tree, each is handmade and so slightly different in the tilt of the head, the number of sequins and the shape of the beak, which makes them really special.

Everyone needs a ham bag at christmas! Assuming that you eat ham of course!! We followed a fabulous Donna Hay recipe last year from her christmas magazine that involved Quince paste (we used Maggie Beers) so I will be needing one of these this year.

I love wreaths that incorporate fruit, they are festive but also useable all year round. Another favourite hanging above the bed are our LED light wreaths (3 shown hung together) I love fairy lights in general but this wreath takes it up a notch by being able to be hung horizontally. It looks amazing hug low over a christmas table and you can take it one step further by hanging baubles from pretty ribbons underneath.

We have stocked clear glass baubles with glass angels inside for a few years now, this year we added a reindeer to the mix. They make fabulous gifts for special people in your life.
And finally its not christmas without seeing stockings hanging from a mantle.
