This and that!!

Well, here I am ready and waiting for the new year to begin. December has just been a big whirlwind for me with lots of Christmas functions, family visits, harvesting on the farm and most exciting of all…..leasing our farm so we are hoping 2014 brings with it lots of great times, travel and generally the next step in our life.
I have a selection of photos from around the beachhouse that have been taken over the last few weeks. I will leave you in peace to enjoy them!!

Pretty pastel tree

This year I have a soft pastel tree at the farmhouse. I’m not sure why, it just happened that way!!! I think the fact that I hadn’t put up the Christmas tree yet and my 4 grandchildren where on their way to visit may have had something to do with it!!! We had been so busy with harvest that I hadn’t quite managed to dress the tree when all of a sudden it needed to be done…NOW. I’m loving the mix of pale pink, blue and green.
This is very different to my tree at the beachhouse which is all silver and white. I love having trees to decorate at two different homes.

This year my decorations have been really pared back as we have been harvesting and also we are in the process of leasing our farm. We will continue to live between the farm and the beachhouse but just not work as hard!! Sounds good to me!!
I’m planning on having lots of new things to share with you next year. I’m really looking forward to semi-retirement and lots of travel hopefully!!

Icy blue and white for Christmas

I can’t believe just how close Christmas is!!!! I have been a little undecided about just what colour I was going to have for my table this year. I am really moving more to the natural look with whites and pinecones and just a softer look in general. Last week I bleached some pinecones and love how they turned out. I mixed a few natural brown ones in as well and then added a few blue balls for contrast. It is just so long since I have been able to fiddle around setting a pretty table and I realise just how much I love it. Hopefully over the next few months of summer here in Australia I will have some fun. This table is very simple….so simple in fact I forgot to add some wine glasses but don’t worry I could soon find them if needed!!  The woven mats I picked up a few years ago in the bargain bin and now I’m wishing I had bought one dozen of them. I just wish my dear friend lived close enough to drop by and join me for lunch!!
