What does one do
When one lives in a shoe (box)
- with no room for a tree?
No, seriously, living in a studio appartent I have no room for a normal size Christmas tree. This can be disappointing because I love the smell and look of a huge, green, real Christmas tree! But, decorating the small places can be just as fun.
This is my 'outside tree'. A small Aussie Christmas bush decorated with a few bits and bobs.
And this is my 'inside tree'. A twig decorated with my felt hearts, knitted stockings, glass icicles and wooden peg gnomes.
A little nest with felt acorns rests in one of the boughs.
At the base sits another antique wooden peg gnome-ess I made, as well as some of my ceramic birds.
Other decorations include an antique bottle, some Australian gum tree branches, and bees wax candles.
Some ceramic deer I picked up from a thrift shop and garage sale.
Felt hearts are hung in the doorway.
So, these are some of my ideas for decorating the little spaces for Christmas.
