I love Christmas. I love the smell of the pine from Christmas tree as it wafts through the house. I love eating. I love drinking. I love shopping. I love shopping for jewels. Jewels for the tree. Forget about going to mass market department stores for the tree trinkets. Instead nick into my favourite stores:
The Bay Tree:
Zoom over here for the most divine Christmas EVERYTHING. You must have the gorgeous little tin angels called Angels with Attitude. Made of recycled cold drink cans by Zulu school children; each is different and individual $7.50. ilala.co.za Help others while you help yourself … to the fabulous string of silver jingle bells $25 or the outrageous rolls of reindeer print toilet paper $15. thebaytree.com.au
Orson and Blake:
Race over here for the most fabulous silver butterfly hanging mobile $25 and the chic de la chic small ‘weeping willow’ silver Christmas tree $65. orsonandblake.com.au
Parterre Garden:
You will find the most gorgeous decorations here as well. My favourite? The gold or bronze glitter birds with a real feather tail $5. I have not seen anything like it! Then buy the fabulous Papier Mache orange snow flakes $7.50 and the clear glass crystal balls $12 or the amazing Crystal ribbed Christmas tree with tea lights www.parterre.com.au
