Advent calendar 22

 The tree is now in place and the scent of pine fills the room. 

Its branches host a modest selection of decorations: gingerbread hearts, cinnamon sticks, 

vintage-looking baubles and one or two musical instruments...

The wreath I had hung in the window has been exchanged for the only new 

Christmas decoration purchase this year, the patchwork paper star below.

So, with the exception of the star, not much has changed from the photo below, 

which I took a few years ago at Christmas...

In the kitchen, my favourite Christmas flowers stand proud and tall, and seem to 

enjoy being embraced by the sneezing/coughing man on the old cough drop tin.

I'll see you again tomorrow, when the red theme continues...

Love,

Helena
