There's a party going on right here!
A celebration to last throughout the year....well the last part of the year anyway.
The lovely Heather at Pretty Petals is having a Christmas Blog party. I had intended to post this on my home blog Kiss Noises but it is very lonely over there and there seems to be some problem with the comments section so if you can put up with a bit of my home life here it is. If you pop over to Kiss noises you will see our outside light display and a bit of the Tree as part of the blog party Sarah at Gypsy Mermaid life had a few days ago. I have had to surrend Christmas tree decorating to the children but I was allowed the top of the television cabinet ( only because they couldn't reach) so whilst the tree is very pretty this is my section of my Pretty Little Christmas. Beware lots of photos ahead.
I love Lisanthus and these are from the markets near Lilly Cottage on a Sunday and they are the most perfect pink....beware there are a few photos of them, also remember it is hot hot hot here at Christmas so I am soooo using my imagination with snow villages.
Now I am off to visit all the other girls invited to play today, it should be fun. First day of school holidays today so the the second thing I shall be doing will no be something fun!! Thanks for visiting me at home, be back with Lilly Cottage lovelies later on this week.
TTFN Kiss Noises Linda Lilly Cottage.



Hey Lilly Linda and Lovely Laura! Your little snowy village is so cute! Hope you enjoy dreaming of a white Christmas as you gaze at it! Oh - finally got my comment to stick on Kiss Noises - just hit refresh after a while and it came up OK, not sure what that's about, but have had it happen on a couple of other blogs - maybe it's just me!! Hope you're having a lovely week at Lilly Cottage - Bear Hugs! KRIS

Enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Love your beautiful displays!!! Isn't it funny how we over here in Australia do the fake snow stuff, and it's Summer for us! LOL! I always wondered why we do it but it's fun anyway and I do love your option! It's just as good as feathers for sure!!! : )
