Hello Darlings,
A few days ago my family pulled down our christmas tree. I always find it a little sad…but its a chance for me to retouch our decorations, to recall where I found each piece.
When ever I travel anywhere in the World, I love to bring home reminders. There are three items I love to bring home…a tea towel, a piece of jewellery (I collect hearts to wear on a bracelet or a piece of Pandora) and I look for a piece that we can place on our Christmas Tree.
You can find a piece anywhere your imagination can lead you….
Above are a few pieces that we have on our tree….
The cross was bought in Delphi Greece 2010, its a ceramic created locally. The delicate cross is one of my favourite pieces….
The large metal piece with agate was bought in 2002 from the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul. We got lost and found this amazing little man selling pieces from Turkmenistan…
The pink heart was bought in Chateau Versailles, Paris – my best friend Stacey and I had an hour to run to the Hall of Mirrors and I was able to purchased this decoration and a hand towel along the way…
Mele Kalikimaka 2002 brings smiles to my children’s faces as it reminds them of a wonderful holiday – reminds them of surfing and sand. They are always keen on popping this one up for that reason…
The round bright colour piece was purchased in Cortona piazza, Tuscany 2011 – my memory of looking for Bramasole….
The cut out wood was from Brugge – Stacey and I went on a horse and buggy tour of Brugge – and the horse needed to stop for a water – amazing what you can buy in 5 minutes!!!
The bells were bought in Chatuchak weekend market…how perfect to ring on our tree as someone walks past…
And finally the lovely red piece was from England….bought in a castle shop..always have the essence of the castle on my tree…
I even place a donkey bell that I found in Skopelos too
So I suppose what I am saying is, its a wonderful memory to keep your enjoyment lasting for years to come!
