Made a start on putting up the Christmas decor this weekend,just a little,as we discovered when bringing the boxes down from storage,that the wrong tree had been disposed of last year!
Now we have to purchase two new artificial trees for the two rooms we decorate each year!
Bought this new this year,I am a sucker for all things candlelight and love their glowing effect.Dressed up the base with some pinecones and red berried shrub from the garden and some glass beading.
The always inviting Christmas cookery book,again bought on impulse this year(only €4.99)the cover looks so inviting!
The local Cork City Christmas Market opened this weekend on the Grand Parade.Beautiful blue skies in the morning but later returned to grey skies and misty rain.
Love the Santa Hat roof tops on these cabins!
