WHOOOOO HOOOOOO I FOUND
more fairy lights and bottlebrush trees yesterday.
I am like a squirrel hiding things away and because I didn't put up the decorations last year, I had forgotten where I had put everything!
The Vintage sled is one of my fave pieces in my collection. As you can imagine getting hold of a vintage sled, ANY SLED, in Australia is as rare as hen's teeth. So when I saw this on Ebay three years ago I snapped it up for $25.
But a sled isn't a sled until it has been Amandarized lol so I painted a Vintage Santa on it.
Actually it weighs a ton and all I can think is that the kid that this belonged to must have had the strength of Godzilla to haul it up a slope!! I once dropped it on my toes and I think everyone in the Valley heard me shrieking!!!
Still got plenty of photos to come LOL

ANY ONE SEEN SANTA!
I know, I know, I love Santa's as well, especially those cute little Hugger Santa's from the 1950's.
Have a thing about Bottlebrush trees as well. Well, lets face it, if its to do with Christmas I have a thing about it!!!!
I found my missing box of fairy lights and vintage balls today and I was so excited. So I was able to get my remaining three trees up and I have finally finished decorating. Even I have to admit, I can't cram much more into here!!!

OKAY I ADMIT IT,
I love, love, love Christmas trees and being able to decorate them with as much glitter and glitz that my imagination allows.
Aside from my Vintage stuff I make and paint all my own decorations. The vintage stuff doesn't escape as it usually gets glittered, mica thrown at it (love mica) or sequined to within an inch of its life and thats just the Santa's!!
So I hope you enjoy looking through my collections as much as I have enjoyed collecting and making them.
And I have to warn you I really DO have quite a few photos!!!!!
Better large although I have photos coming which show close ups.

ITS BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS
After cancelling Christmas last year, I realised I can't do that ever again as I so love putting out my Chrissie Decorations.
So that is why I have disappeared aside from the fact I have a streaming cold (just to REALLY get into the Christmas spirit) as it takes me ages to get everything out of my storage downstairs, clean them all, put them up then move them all around again!
So, I will be putting up quite a few photos because I have managed to squeeze a LOT of Christmas decorations into my little home.
BETTER LARGE!

KISSES FROM ME
For all the lovely, lovely Birthday Wishes I received yesterday.
I had a gorgeous day and even though I was by myself I didn't feel alone as I had my Flickr family around me.
Isn't this the most gorgeous coloured Sari!!!
When I bought it off Ebay (for the princely sum of $5) I was buying it as material as that is what it was listed as. It was only when I received it that I realised it was a sari.
Its missing the little top and I have NO IDEA how to actually tie it but for the purpose of photography I could get away with it.
I think Sari's are divine as they are so over the top with their colours and their blingy bits, bit like me actually LOL.
