Christmas is on it’s way

Christmas is sneaking up on me, so is my massive Christmas holiday.

3 weeks of bliss with Mr Bake & Bloom & his parents. I know for some going away with the in laws might seem like hell on earth but mine are like the family I always wanted. We’re spending Christmas & new years eve in Canada & America, (specifically a Whistler Christmas & a Vegas NYE) I’m hoping for my first white Christmas.

I was feeling a little sad that I wouldn’t get to decorate this year but GC floristry management has come to the rescue with my Christmas display project. Our assignment last night was to create a Christmas display such as one might find in a florist window, here is my interpretation:

Proud as punch

My teachers Sue & Krishna, thanks for your support & guidance..I couldn't do any of this without you

Oh yeah, totally camera ready

My classmate Tina & I with our Christmas Displays

Can you feel the Christmas love ladies? Tina was sweet enough to bring along her cherished family Christmas decorations complete with her children’s names, they were just gorgeous. My decorations are vintage American ball-balls from the 60′s, sometimes when Mr Bake & Bloom isn’t home I sit around & sniff their boxes.

I really like the idea of our little orphan Annie Christmas trees (the sticks with the decorations on) there’s something quite charming & overambitious about them that I just love.

I would love to hear about your favorite Christmas decorations, what are they & why do they mean so much to you?

Your display looks fantastic. My favourite christmas decorations are the small hand painted wooden ones – my mum used to have a lot of them when I was young.
