Inspired by the colours of the room setting above I have decided to have a purple Christmas theme this year. Last year I had an 8 foot tree of white and lime green roses and silver bows, this year however, I have a large Chinese cabinet in the only space my tree would fit and I have absolutely nowhere to move it even if I could get a few strong arms in to help. With this knowledge in mind I have decided to abandon my large tree and purchase a couple of small ones this year.
Recently I bought a gorgeous little tree from The Christmas Heirloom company, along with some beautiful purple tree accessories. The decorations were made from pretty reflective cut beads and I easily took them apart to make 4 smaller decorations from each one, attaching some silver thread for hanging. This is an economic way of decorating a smaller tree where full size decorations would be too bulky. I also bought some cute little white lights that run off three batteries so no need for a plug socket. I then added a string of little purple beads and finished off with sprigs of pale purple silk hydrangea heads I snipped off one large head and poked them in here and there to add a little more texture. I topped off the tree with a bit of "Bollywood", a larger crystal set in a filigree mount with some smaller tear drops dangling from each side. I am quite happy with the final look.
Gosh, even my walls look slightly purple, but I can assure you their not :)
knows where these can be purchased, please let me know.
