MY CHRISTMAS FAIRY


i have had more than a little help in getting our house in festive spirit...my very talented mum has made us this door hanging + beautiful table decoration (which looks lovely at night with the candle glowing) she makes these for family + friends as well as to sell at a market for the flower club she belongs to. using greenery + dried hydrangeas from her garden. how lucky are we?

so whilst my christmas fairy has been working her magic...we (yes me + c) made 3 dozen mince pies today...having made a load of suet-free mincemeat at the weekend...more dozens to be baked + scoffed over the next few weeks...maybe a frangipane version next batch?

oh...heard my 1st christmas song on the radio today too!
happy monday xxx

What a talented mother you have:) That's where you must get your creative streak from perhaps?

Mince pies....homemade are a must.
