What is This Tree Doing in the House?!

Lola our Airedale is 3 years old, and has only experienced 3 Christmases so it's quite exciting to see how she reacts when we bring a big green tree that usually lives outside into the house.  The look on her fluffy face is priceless, 'what are you doing with that?!' 

 

 

We have managed to obtain a lovely big old lovely wooden cable reel which comes with a lovely red makers stamp on (more detailed photos of this later) and Davy thought it would be a great idea to put the tree on.  I went ahead and did this myself last night because I couldn't wait until he was back at the weekend!

I think we have been a bit adventurous on the size and as you can see from the below picture it is touching the ceiling- oops.

As well as all the festiveness the orders are coming in thick and fast, another caddy was shipped to London yesterday, all gift wrapped.

This Best Of Christmas Style

We haven't got round to sorting out our Christmas tree yet, partly because we have both been working like crazy things and because Davy is working on his brothers house down south this week.  I am really looking forward to picking out our first Christmas tree (real oh real!). I managed to get a few decorations the other weekend including a red bird trimmed with red glitter (photos to follow).
Christmas styling is really personal to the house that created it, here's a few that caught my eye this week (photo credits included).
