It's CHRISTMAS!!

 Started to put the Christmas things out. Vin had stowed everything on the bed and ferried it all downstairs. He put the things over the mantlepiece and they look lovely. One of the best things about Christmas for me actually. 

I love all these things, most of them came from our trips to America. They do such pretty decorations there. Many from craft fairs and stalls.
Also a huge parcel arrived from Amazon, with no order form but containing two beautiful advent calendars. They have tea lights in them, one for each day of the month and a surprise for the 25th.  I love Yankee candles they always smell so gorgeous. You get a different flavour each day which is always really nice.
  Little Jessie  seems blissfully unaware of what is going on around her. In her basket and fast asleep.
