Pretty candelsticks and baubles

We got these from freecycle (you can see the black ones on facebook) but they were always a little bit austear, so I've softened them slightly, and I'm pretty happy with them. I'm sure when I was in town yesterday I could find dinner candles in more exciting colours but never mind, they look good for now!

1st December - The Best Of The Absolute Worst Christmas Decorations

1st December

I don't have an advent calendar this year, nor have we put up any Christmas decorations so I've decided to make an awesome advent calendar of awesome festive blog posts - titles will always link to the original

I'm starting to feel a little bit festive (I'm guessing that's the snow's fault, and the fact all my Christmas Shopping is done- I have had 1 Christmas dinner, but that was more logistics then anything)
