This is the best I could do with photos of my Christmas decorations. This is the first year I've really bothered with any and I made a little bit of an effort. Ideas I've copied or come up with: milk glass brooches as decorations (I don't quite have enough but I lost the will to buy more), roses with hairspray and glitter, painted white willow branches, with mirrored string, starched white doilies, ribbon and gold leaf, and fresh mistletoe. I also really like the dove garland which I bought from Traidcraft.
UPDATE: I joined in with Violet Posy's Christmas decoration carnival - add your decorations too!

Just lovely - particularly like the fresh mistletoe and bird garland.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! Love the monochromatic look...classy and calming, especially needed this time of year!
So pretty and festive! And speaking of getting into the spirit of the season, you totally made our year by including us in your roundup of top design blogs for The Times. Seriously we're still pinching ourselves! Thank you from the bottom of our home-improvement-lovin' hearts. We wish you a very happy holiday and a warm tea-filled new year!

Love the beautiful dove garland. I've posted mine over at Violet Posy's Christmas Decorations carnival. Maybe I'll see you there. Hey! Anna's here. Hi Anna.
I just came across your blog and enjoyed my morning coffee while perusing it. Lovely, especially all of the vintage "bits". I love the peek into Britain garnered through your blog.
Beautiful!
ooh i love your blog! i was on a blog hop and just discovered you! :)
How beautiful and perfectly festive!
such festive pretties! the doilies are so sweet like little snowflakes...definitely worth the effort. wishing you a very merry christmastime! Xx
very lovely! :)
I especially like the starched doilies! x
I love the idea of decorating a tree with broches (and perhaps other jewelry, too). I have a collection of gorgeous pieces that I always feel a little guilty about never wearing--this would be a great way to let everyone enjoy them while keeping them special. Thank you for posting such gorgeous ideas!
looks so lovely to me! hope you have a beautiful holiday, although it looks as though you already are.
