A Shabby Little Christmas

There's not much time to spare for 'playing' these days but I've managed to add a little bit of Christmas to the shabby house.







Hope all your preparations are going well. I'm off to the shops shortly...don't want to have to go out on Christmas Eve.

    It looks lovely. It so reminded me of the romantic catalogues of Laura Ashley during the 1980's.

    Looks so inviting :) I love that dresser, I don't remember seeing it before (my apologies if I'm just blind or have a memory like a sieve!).

    It is all so perfect Mercedes, from the wonderful christmas wreath on the front door, through to the amazing little decorated tree and every thing in between!

    It looks like a wonderfully happy christmas in the 'shabby house'.

    Merry Christmas....Linda x

    Me encata la escena esta realmente preciosa la decoracion.
    En estas fiestas tan señaladas… así comienzan todas las clásicas felicitaciones de navidad que se copia y pega sin dar atención a lo que uno pone. Así que la mejor manera es decir simplemente y de todo corazón…
