Christmas around the house

This little tree stands in a corner between the door to the laundry room ( on the left) and the one to the buttery. There's always someone walking through here and the tree, which had only battery-operated lights, looked too bare for M so he decided his bouncy ball collection would look great nestled in among the branches. Only trouble is the slightest nudge and they come tumbling down.

                               The teddy bears have their own little tree....

...and a garland that hangs over them. Connie, do you recognize the postcards you so kindly sent me?

This cushion comes out every Christmas. I found the wreath brooch (top, middle) this year and now all the squares are filled.

The birds are enjoying the suet. The picture was taken through the window and  isn't too clear but you can just see a couple of Bush Tits on the left.  Just a minute earlier there were so many of those tiny birds clinging to the wire. One minute they're there, the next they're gone.

Thanks for visiting today,
