πΏππΏ Coastal Christmas cottages....
The sea was calling me last weekend...
I love seeing Christmas trees in pretty windows and wreaths decorating doors
πΏππΏThe sea was choppy and the wave were hitting the harbour wall and the little children were screaming with excitement
πΏππΏ Love watching the waves... The sea like whipped cream
πΏππΏIt was a lot more peaceful on the coastal path above the harbour town
πΏππΏBack home snug indoors with the candles and fairy lights...
πΏππΏWe found some beautiful on sale paper chains, the colour and illustrations are just so beautiful... I think we stuck together a hundred!
πΏππΏ... And decorated the lounge and hall with all the paper chains...
πΏππΏ Nativity in our Market town...
πΏβπΏWonderful festive smells in our cottage...
πΏππΏβ¨β¨More Candlelight on the dresser...
I love this ritual lighting the candles...
πΏππΏSophia has been baking gingerbread biscuits
πΏβπΏFound my beautiful vintage stamped envelopes.... I have a thing for Christmas stamps, especially vintage ones...
Look at the beauty of this angel...
πΏβπΏ... Finally posting off cards tomorrow...
πΏβπΏI love arty Christmas cards and ones connected to charity... These Christmas cards were mainly from the Oxfam charity helping people in poverty... And Crises charity for the homeless
πΏβπΏ I turn 40 years old this month!!!! What a year to turn forty... I won't be going out to celebrate, probably a Cornish cider and a slice of cake and being with my family at home.... I was looking back through the months of 2020,
Oh my goodness what a year its been...

DeleteOhh.. you're just a baby! I enjoyed each and every photo you shared. You live such an artful and wonderful life in your charming cottage. I have collected 3 Cornishware pieces, a new jug, a vintage one (the older one is so much more delicate) and an older cup. You inspired me. *H*A*P*P*Y* * *B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y*!*!*!* ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Deletei so love cornishware pieces, some are not actual cornishware but with the same design stripes...x
DeleteHonestly, my forties were my best decade (in fifties now). It seems so young to me. Hope you have a very lovely birthday and some magical sprinkles of fairy dust to help clear out this silly old year.
ReplyDeleteI love that vintage angel on the stamp and your Christmas cards too. I often get mine from Oxfam and they have some lovely ones. Your own illustrations would make lovely cards, you could maybe get some printed to sell.
Wishing you a Very Happy Christmas and Yule time season with plenty of good things for the year ahead. Thanks for the lovely things on your blog that you have shared this year.

DeleteOh! to be 40 again Kazzy(big smile)!! 40 is young believe me!! Happy Happy birthday! Ages since I've had a glass of scrumpy!! Enjoy. How paper chains have changed; beautiful designs. That sends me back to my childhood sitting with my sisters sticking chains together and hanging them all over the house! Certainly they weren't as pretty as these you have here. Sophie's cookies make my mouth water...delicious. Such a cosy enchanting cottage. I so love Christmas xx Have fun Amanda x
