A Christmas Vignette Downunder

It is that time of year again when I get to

create a small Christmas Vignette
to celebrate what this event
means to us here!

Our Christmas "tree" consists of several branches

from our Bay tree growing in our back garden

with its deep rich green shiny leaves,

these most exotic "Christmas Lillies"

with their perfume so divine

as well as a cluster of gum nuts from some of our Australian 

gum trees.

The yellow glow of the candle lit evening here

gives a perfectly serene feel against

the soft shades and the metallic greys

in the form of angels, hearts, silver trees and pine cones.

The inclusion of a few added handmade gifted

decorations from friends

makes this event so much more special! 

My rustic garland of Mother and Child

brings home the message that a Saviour is born!

And these are just a few little reminders of why
we celebrate this most auspicious occasion.
I'm linking this vignette to Our Beautiful World and
Mosaic Monday at Dear Little Red House

Thank you so very much dear friends for your company,
support, friendship and inspiration which you
have provided throughout the year.
These memories have been well etched into my heart
for which I sincerely "thank you"!

I trust that your Christmas will be full of love, light and joy
and that the New Year will bring even more of the same
with all of your creative inspirations!

Love and hugs, Suzy xox
