Christmas color

1 Dec

Is it too early to start talking Christmas decor?  I think not, so here goes.  The Christmas decorations in Europe go up SO early — with no Thanksgiving decor standing in the way, shops are free and clear to start putting up their Christmas color from the first of November.  In fact, I am certain I saw some shops all decked out for the holidays before Halloween — silly!

I thought this room, featured in Ideal Home, was so fun.  Loads of umph and sparkle.  I feel inspired — I just wish Tilly’s Cottage was complete so that I was able to “tart it up” for the holidays.  I guess I’ll just gather some ideas for next year.

    I was wondering where you would buy the red christmas stars hanging from the ceiling in this picture, I live in canada and I can’t seem to find them anywhere so far. This christmas setting is absolutely beautiful!!

    Thank you

      Hi Jodi – here’s one source but it’s not exactly the same: http://starlamps.net/products_new.html?page=4&disp_order=6
      It’s easy to find the 5 pointed version but the 8-pointed stars like these are a bit of challenge. Good luck and thanks for following Tilly’s Cottage.
