I Love Christmas Trees....
The Christmas Tree has been put up in the Lovely Old Dollhouse, Dear Readers, even though I have not had any time lately to "perfect" it's decoration! The base is still a stumpy old block of wood.... and the branches are rather crude and large for the scale. I did add a new brass Angel to the top and Charles has added a few small decorations....
There were some tiny hearts cut out of lace added....
and a garland with stars.....
But otherwise it is just the same as Last year!
Will I ever get the time to decorate the house the way I imagine it to be...?
There should be garlands and stockings by the hearth.......
And ribbons on the mirror frames.....
And the Overmantle should be finished...
and so forth...
At least I have put the Creche up on the sideboard.....
Here you can come a little closer.....
It is the same one from last year... and it looks very good here...
But perhaps there should be a Stable...?
So many things I would like to add.... and so little time!
Charles is admiring the decorated tree....
but all the rest of the Family are either out or busy changing their clothes.....
(They are still dressed in their fancy outfits...!)
Meanwhile in the Tree House there have been a couple of Decorations added to the Salon....
It seems that Anna Maria wanted a Traditional Tree to decorate the Niche.....
And I also made a couple of Tiny Trees for the Mantlepiece....
Made from Lycopodium glued into beads!
Of course, they are VERY small and Quite hard to see....
And if you even Breathe too hard they go flying off the Mantle....!
But I think they add a certain Seasonal Touch!
For the Traditional Tree I took a one inch tall mini bottlebrush tree
and cut off all the artificial snow....
I glued on a star and gold and iridescent beads of different sizes.....
I think it is just PERFECT in the empty niche!
Anna Maria has come to look over the Decorations...
I don't think she expected to see Us here...!
But maybe she won't really mind ... if we just look Quietly!
I don't know if I'll get any other decorating done....
But I really wanted to show you the Little Tree and the Tiny Trees!
