Many people are decorating very early for the holidays this year. The worries of 2020 have affected quite a few folks, and I think to soothe themselves - and I'm one of them - the holiday season has been brought forward, at least the "hygge" parts: The coziness, the warmth, the contentment in simple, sweet things. For a few years, we heard a lot about the Danish term hygge, then it faded a bit, but it seems to be back, with a definite American twist. I think here in the U.S., it tracks along with an appreciation of primitive and Colonial living, but is joined with our love of outdoor Christmas light displays. Our local stores have so little left in the way of lights!
Here are a few [bad] pictures of some of my decorations. I wasn't even taking the photos in low light, but was experimenting with the settings. I think I'll have to keep working at it! And I have more decorations to put up, mainly my tags and more Moravian Stars that I like to fold. One photo shows both the flat and the dimensional stars that can be folded.
Here's hoping you have a good weekend and if you are decorating, enjoy!
Kind regards,
The Merry Olde Dame
your home is looking very festive! I have seen so many people post that they are decorating their homes I will get at it this weekend. I like to get some natural things from the woods and add some vintage christmas to it

Your oh-so-lovely decorations make me want to drag out my old Christmas stuff and get busy! I am, in reality, going to try to keep things quite simple this year. As Cathy, above, said, "a few natural things from the woods" stuck here always seems to work for us. I do like your pink Christmas ideas.
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures and find nothing the matter with them. I only wish mine were as clear as yours.
ReplyDeleteThe Moravian Stars are lovely and look very hard to make. But I don't have any talent for crafts at all so...
Ladies, I don't know why, but so many are decorating early. I found myself doing it, too. I just love natural items in decorating, even though dragging a bunch of gleaned corncobs in the house ended up with little pantry moths flying everywhere! Granny Marigold, I bought an old "LG" camera from Ebay because I read it took good pictures and videos. When I use it instead of my current camera, the photos are better! And it was so inexpensive, but as good as some digital cameras.
