I know Christmas has been and gone, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the decorations I did with my children. We spent months saving our toilet rolls, so we could make our own bon bons, which we filled with chinese fortune cookies. We also decorated the trees we were eating under with giant silver tear drops and silver ball chains. Then of course, PANIC, THE FLOWERS!!! In my mad rush the day before I went to my favourite florist, she mostly sells succulents and tropical flowers, wonderful colours. I'll try and post some shots from her shop soon? I ended up placing a single orchid and a stem of mulberries in about 8 glasses down the middle of the table. Very easy solution, no fiddly flower arranging required!

  1. Dear Minnie, I LOVE these bon bons! I have always aspired to making my own but have never managed it, nor would I have thought to include fortune cookies - too clever! I love your style, and red and white is my FAVORITE for Christmas! Love it! Kate
