The festive season is nigh upon us thus, this very day has seen some simple decorations made and displayed to celebrate the season. Two ivy clad wreaths have been made, one for the front entrance, simply enhanced with a large red bow, the other adorned with three beautifully crafted felt robins nestling in its branches for the dining room. Small displays of evergreens, plus clementines, bay leaves, pine cones, pewter and mercury glass find the decorations completed. A simple theme embracing the colours of the season, as well as a little gleam of metal or mercury glass, is all our small Cottage needs to make one feel prepared for the festivities.
All around us, and on our respective journeys to our professional toil, the male guardian and I are able to view the many glittering displays our fellow men and woman have prepared for Christmas. Perhaps my favourites are the simple small white lights lightly entwined amongst the garden greenery on one or two pieces. How delicate, and so very pretty they do look.
The male guardian and I took the carriage this morn to a local town to purchase a few necessities, where a brass band enhanced the season with some beautifully played seasonal pieces, whilst shoppers browsed the wares of the the local shops and small market taking place. Mince pies were being offered and people collecting for a local charity, all adding to the atmosphere and seasonal build up.
All that is left is to ensure that Christmas gifts are wrapped, the necessary selected foodstuffs purchased and a well stocked log store is at our disposal. What more could one want, my dears.
