It looks like Christmas here.

We put the tree up last weekend. We bought a new tree last winter in the January sales. I forgot how big it was, we usually have a table in that corner but had to take it up stairs. Not only is it taller and wider than the old tree, it is more beautiful too, it has red berries and fir cones and is snow tipped too.

We went to Biscester Outlet Village a couple of weeks ago and went into the Waterford Wedgewood shop and when I saw this beautiful Heirloom Bauble, it was a bit pricey but I had to have it. I could have got a huge box at Costco for the same price, but we already had plenty of baubles so I only needed this one.

I decorated my mantel with candles and a red berry garland.
