VT christmas

Ella hung the stockings from the walkway with care (that's become the place to dump all my tools and paint!)
While the tree was placed by the window. I always think the neighbours should be able to see the tree. I do have to keep the therma backed curtains closed at night though- that room is like a fridge!
The tree is simply decorated really. Ella and I collected masses of little pine cones which we then covered in various silver/white/blue/green glitter. And then there is my collection of snowflakes from the Met. I've been collecting them since we moved to New York way back in 2001. I think I have the 2000 one as well. And a few other silver ornaments that I've collected mostly from craft fairs.

Very simple decorations as I'm still de Christmasing the house from when we bought it.
