CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL - TAVISTOCK

















 This was before Archie was ill.


                     My friend introduced me to this Christmas tree  Festival
                     last year. It is held in Tavistocks church in Devon.
                     Which is not far from me. Even though I live
                     in Cornwall.
                     It is now a tradition on the calendar for each year.
                 
                     If you look closely I took my new friend Archie
                     With me. He is as good as gold in his bag.
                    
                     
              
                      And as you can see, the weather was good
                      for December, because all I had on was a cardigan.
            








                                         Here is my friend Alison with her
                                         daughter Lucy. Who is growing up so
                                         fast. This year the church did a sheet for the
                                         children (or adults) to find objects on
                                         the various trees. We tried but did not
                                         find them all. but lots of fun.
                            




          
                                          You can have a hot drink and homemade
                                           cake. and there was a very talented lady
                                           singing. Just beautiful.
                     


 
 
 
 






 
 
 












                                  We finished by voting for our favourite tree.
                                  I had to pick this one, because it had a paper
                                  Chihuahua on.




                                     It looked bigger than Archie





It also had a fantastic cat on the top.
A very clever person made these ......
 

 
 
Untill next year.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS IN MY LOUNGE.
















                                 This is how I have decorated my lounge
                                  for Christmas.


                                I brought these hearts and stars from Tescos's.
                                I added the baubles and ribbon.
                                They are held perfectly in place by my marbles.







                                                       My main tree




                                          My Santa musical snowglobe.



                                     My musical Snowglobe I got for Christmas last year.





                                     My felt angel. I brought from St Dominc's craft fair.
                                     And my glass angel I brought from a charity shop.



                                     The childrens Christmas Stockings. I knitted.
                




                                                 And our advent candle.




                                          Hope you have enjoyed looking around.
