My countdown has begun?? Has yours??
Anything starts with a spring cleaning session and a few bags to charity… Cleaning upholstery & painting the walls and giving a few walls a different colour.
Then I decide on a colour scheme… that will stay with me till January. Last year, it was yellow & orange!! Be creative and mix & match any colour…

Once that’s decided then the accessories, flowers, candles & everything else follows the same colour scheme.. Bring out the artist in you – put out candles in glasses, trays, boxes, old pots or anything else that you can find. Paint a few old pots or boxes and bring on the festive sparkle in them…

Don’t forget lighting – open old boxes of fairy lights, lanterns, diyas, oil lamps and all other forms of light that you can think of… Don’t forget to add some floating candles & diffusers…. And see how it makes a difference!!
Make a list of things you need to buy… and shop for… so you can get it at a bargain in the next month!!

Are you having guests for dinner ? – family or friends? Decide on what to cook and how to set the table….

Don’t forget to starts shopping for gifts… Most times.. I even start shopping for Christmas gifts as early as September or October!!

Switch on the fairy lights…. Bring out the Gods… and let the festivities begin!!
