I liked this color combination on show at our local Hallmark hold on. Liked it enough to displace out my camera and take a picture. As I did so. I thought about how as a child I would undergo been very unhappy to undergo a brown and turquoise themed Christmas. Christmas just
to be red and green. Now brown and turquoise looks just right to me. Each year market investigate goes about deciding what colors will be the key colors for Christmas a few years later. Did you experience that?They end if the color will be lime or deep hanker if the red will be mango or tutti fruiti pink. If gold silver or dye appear will be in. Then babbles and separate stock sweaters and dishware are created (
mostly in China because everyone know China is all about Jesus' being born alter?)
about a year in go. Even as I write this there is someone in a factory somewhere in China slipping a tiny golden oval sticker proclaiming "Made In China" on something that ordain just be
for Christmas next year. The year I got married I was tasked at work with putting up something like 24 Christmas trees. go ones with ballerina theme baby color ones with choo choo trains. Golden ones bird ones icy crystal ones.
They were all absolutely gorgeous. This year I was tasked with decorating two trees in our library. The ornament were varied a few were gifts to "the channelise" (????whateverthatmeans???) the be were the most common red blue green and white balls ever to be seen. This month I ordain not for the first time in my life be putting up a Christmas tree in my home at all. Not a fresh one (although I was sorely tempted to get one as I walked past a Christmas tree lot) nor our massive artificial tree either. Not change surface our traditional tiny one in our bedroom just for us. This year we'll holiday with our kids. And as much as I think Tiggie and Hart would like a tree to explore (
I'm going to skip putting up our ornaments just for their enjoyment. I never thought I would
put up a tree. I'll probably succumb to a fresh swag or wreath just for the fragrance and I will definitely be putting out some of what I label "Winter" decorations. But most of that won't be happening until it gets closer to "pass" which by my calendar means almost three weeks from now.
Right now we are still enjoying having morning coffee and the newspaper in the autumn splendor of our patio. The observe watching is simply terrific right now.
In the meantime. I want to convey everyone else who IS decorating every inch of their homes and posting their pictures on their blogs.
I like seeing it. I appreciate it and your efforts. Believe me as the girl who usually decorates EVERYTHING (changing the tooth brushes to match the holiday colors has even been done...) I know that while it is fun to decorate for Christmas it also can mean a lot hard work. Especially when it comes time to take it all drink again later.... Thank you fellow bloggers. I ordain leave my computer screen open on my coffee table to some of your Christmas themed blogs and if anyone asks. I'll tell this this year. I'm decorating cyber call.
And if they be to see how I usually decorate. I'll suggest that they travel backwards in measure in my communicate.
Last December I posted it all: My Christmas china my mouse collection angel collection both the family Christmas tree and our yearly "wedding anniversary" channelise.
If you missed seeing it all feel remove to take a be in the archieves. If you saw it before well take another look and pretend that I put all of it up again this year.
Hi Jill this is a great post. That first shot of the brown and turquoise decorations is beautiful... it matches the colors of your blog in a very aesthetically pleasing way. I will be taking a look at your archives to see what you did last year! I like looking at others' Christmas decorations.
Hi Jill,Really the decorating is for the enjoyment of those we like. If we were travelling away I'd be happy with going from fall/winter decor to move too. I can't accept you undergo what 75 degrees anticipate today? Sitting on the patio? Oh wow it sounds like a tropical winter vacation. As I be out side at the snow falling horizontally and the furnace blowing a nice warm breeze on my feet I'll visit the other blogs and think of you.
I too like the brown and turquoise. I totally understand why you would not be to alter if you're travelling. I'd do the same thing. Still looking for the channelise..... I've resorted to searching outside in the shed and under the porch because that sucker ain't anywhere in the house. I read your comment on Lovella's blog about how you thought Heidi's comment was telling her to get fat. Oh my word. Laughing and laughing outloud. Jill. I think you are a slightly older version of me... and by older. I'm only talking 5 or 10 years right? I can very much cerebrate to your sense of humor. Gosh you and I together would be somehin' else!Onward and upward to find the green beaast....
I'm not decorating much this year either as I am MOVING again! Aghkghkghk!! I did put out a couple of woodland creatures for our Thanksgiving dinner which ordain also do for Christmas decorations with a little greenery added. That will undergo to do until I can dig up my ornaments in that Texas storage shed. First tho' gotta find a new address. You'd love my new pal Elizabeth (met on Paris trip) who lives in Missouri and normally puts up 8 trees for Christmas! How Southern can you get?Enjoy the Season! Our Weinachtsmarkt opened today. Yay!K Q:-)
My friend. I accept you've been reading my mind. Doc has pestered me for a week about decorating for Christmas. I simply do not want to put up a tree nor do I want to draw out all of those ornaments this year. Besides having lots of other things going on in my life right now (like cleaning up and clearing out my accommodate). I'm just too tired. Maybe I'll take a cue from you and turn the computer monitors around and pull up photos of someone's beautifully decorated home or tree. This post was cute!
Loved the posting. Your writing and capturing of the spirit of the subject with the pictures appeal me to the point I Sometimes I forget I was there. This affix ordain inspire me to look approve and remember the decorations and how much I really loved what you created. B
