I played about with the camera settings on our old point-and-shoot and sussed out something called ISO which seemed to make capturing the tree lights a little better. It is still not up to the standard of some of the shots I see on your blogs, but hey...it'll do for me =0)So, here is some of our Christmas decorating...
The tree, with a hint if fairy lights (at least you can make them out now). I mainly stuck with silver, gold and white with a little linen here and there.
Today has been so bleak and dreary that Mason and I hung out and watched a movie which is why the blind is down a little. It's not usually there.

...and these crocheted snowflakes I purchased from Imagination In Flight, which is a store on Made It! I think they are beautiful.
I also picked up these cute little crocheted hearts from Killiecrankie Farm

I think they are beautiful.I also picked up these cute little crocheted hearts from Killiecrankie Farm I got to meet the lovely Lee who is behind the gorgeous Christmas trees and these decorations while browsing the local craft market at Clarence Point recently and couldn't resist these - thanks Lee! The other white decorations are my clay Doves and some little clay hearts I made up.
This is what you are greeted with when you enter our home. Simple but lovely. I plan to add a bowl of silvery baubles to the mix when I get another moment. The pine was picked by the boys and I and tied with white ribbon...it smells divine! We put it everywhere.
At the other end of the hall is this little candle lit display. I tied the wreath with some vintage crocheted ribbon and brought out some of my favourite candles to gather here, as well as the Nutcracker toy solider Mum gave me a few years back.
I thought it looked bare without the Nutcracker.
Our trusty old Santa came out. The boys love this and always want to see what in the sack or under his coat!! =0)
Some pine wreaths with an organza ribbon look lovely on our French doors beside the tree.
Another new addition to our decorating this year is this cute little Scandi style Deer I picked up at Cocoon. It comes as a flat packed piece so you can mail it...should have bought some more.
I have kept the Kitchen mantel fairly simple this year. Pine branches mixed with white lights, some candles and those gorgeous French Iron candlesticks. I still have to hang the stockings yet because I changed my mind after seeing the pic I posted about a few posts back, so I have to make some more now.
I like it lit at night with the fairy lights on.
So, there you have it. A little sneak peak at this years decorating. There is more, but I was just happy to have been able to capture the tree lights, however slight =0)
