Doors & Arches in Vienna

Doors & arches intrigue me!! Here are a few images from Vienna…. By far Austria – Vienna & Salzburg are the most beautiful destination in Europe. My heart still waits to enter this door –

I want to go away ... for a while.. *sigh*

DIY ~ hanging decor

Now I'm sharing a very simple DIY hanging decor....

All you need is a hanger... Make the wire look like a circle. and if you have an old Christmas garland...

You stick it to the hanger... and it looks like this...

I wanted these for my lights...

And here is the end product... A few tree decorations as well... and it truly looks lovely!!

So are you joining in the Christmas linky party?? 

In the spotlight ~ Santa Stories

In the spotlight for December and going into the New Year is 'Santa Stories'.. I'm hoping all of you will join in with your memories of this festive season, decor, craft, thrift finds and glamorous Christmas trees *smiles*

For the last two years, my silver decor was locked away... and we always decorated the tree with the traditional red and gold. This year, we've decided to do shades of pink (pastel pink, mauve, shocking pink) and silver... 

So the next few days, I'll share with you the pink & silver decor we've put together...

Oh.. my angel chimes... You've seen them about two years ago... here.. broke!! *sobs*... so we stratigically, took the angels away from the broken peices.. and have lined them up together like this.. What do you think??

Have a look at my old Christmas decor ideas...

And then, join in the party with your 'Santa Stories' *smiles* .... Please do use the below button so more people can join in the fun!! Party open till 3rd January!!
