Monday’s Quick Start with Paloma’s Nest Holiday Season collection

Palomasnest

To get you in the mood for the Holiday Season I start with the NEW collection by Paloma’s Nest.

Caroline has outdone herself with this years collection I believe. Christmas Stockings, an Advent Calendar, and  a Tree Skirt in addition to dozens of new ornaments and decorations. I truly like them and would be very happy to decorate our home with. You can see and buy the collection right here

DIY Ornaments

Lodeornament

Bookhou Orn-5 

I'm have started making some homemade ornaments for our (we still have to buy) Christmas tree … some of them I will not be hanging in our own tree but will be sent to the grandmothers who live far away from us … the idea to make them came from this fun Ornament tutorial on BloesemKids that Helen has contributed. 

While browsing online my eye fell on these handmade Ornament number 1 & 3 that Abbey made for her 20 in 20 challenge…

Bookhou

…and I Love this idea from Arounna to organize an ornament group show, opening this Saturday december 11th from 2-5pm at the Bookhou shop in Toronto, please say hi to Arounna from me if you see her!
