a white (and silver) christmas countdown

I am very in love with this gorgeous knitted stocking with little crystal embellishments. It (almost) makes me want to start knitting! But I think I will leave that to the experts and try and source a ready-made version...if anyone knows of where to find, please let me know. Doesn't the colour of the wool look lovely against the white boards? It makes me feel excited about Christmas and the chance to decorate.
I adore silvered glass baubles such as these. I can't get enough! I have seen them for sale in a store in Hobart, Store and co. I think I will have to go shopping... I am picturing them hanging from white painted branches in a galvanised tin tub. With a bit of linen thrown into the mix. Somewhere.
And candles. Of course.

As my countdown to Christmas begins I contemplate how fortunate I am. I have wonderful family and friends to share the time with and can't wait to cook together, laugh together, and to give more of myself. Well, that is the plan, anyway...

    Hi Tammy,

    I know that stocking is so nice isn't it. I'm alright when someone starts my knitting but I would love to be able to follow a knitting pattern. On my very long to do list.

    I will need some more time to remember where I have all the decorations stashed. I buy a few more each year. I think I need a bigger box.

    Those silver decorations are gorgeous. I need to get out more....still yet to visit Store & Co., maybe next time I'm down that way!

    Another weekend almost gone, hope you've had a good one.

    Take care

    Imagine if I bought all of them, Robert would have a heart attack!!!!!!!

    Hi Janine, Store & Co is full of many little treasures. It is great for gift cards too. I know what you mean about Christmas decorations, I have a box for each colour phase I went through...red, gold, silver! Oh well, it is all fun isn't it? I adore the candlesticks too, I only have one pair but I wouldn't mind another one or two (or three, or four...). Have a great week, and thank you for dropping in. Regards, Tammy

    Tammy,

    I know what you mean about the candlesticks, so hard to stop at just one pair! I've seen and admired wooden carved ones en masse in the middle of a dining room table....it looked absolutely stunning. This could be our reason for buying more too, what do you think Tammy??!!! lol

    Look on the bright side with your christmas decorations, one day you will have a different colour scheme for each room!

    Gorgeous day here, hope the sun is shining there too.

    Take care

    I also love that stocking and you are so right it does have an extremely festive feel to it against the white board and the sparkly snow flakes.
