My 1970s Christmas Tree

This pphoto really doesn't do the tree justice - it really is much prettier than it llooks here.  At the back of the tree (on the right) you can see one of my rescued angels (I call this one Angelica, and she's the largest of my angels).

Moving on into the kitchen ...

 A collection of cups plates and dishes (above) and my much-loved salt and pepper pots on the window-sill(below).

Updated Christmas pics

The photo above is an updated pic of my lounge room corner with the 1950s tree, now with its full complement of wrapped Christmas gifts.

 The next picture is of the dining room , showing my two framed cross stitched Marilyn Gandre works - Santa's Great Book and Santa's Workshop.

and the final pic is also from the Dining Room, showing my Advent Calendar on December 7,  Seven of the starts have been turned to show Santas.  I've also replaced the table runner with a new market purchase - a lovely patchwork Christmas runner I bought from the lady who made it.

Just before we leave the dining room ...

This is the fat terracotta Santa that greets my visitors - he is standing near my front door.  My dear niece Aislinn gave him to me for my birthday a few years ago.

This is my Dining Room table, which has some of my nesting Santa sets.  You can just see the corner display unnit which has my vintage colection.  On the wall are L&L's Oh Christmas Tree and Santa of the Forest (the top is undfortunately cut from this pic.
