Some more jolly moments

Well I've been rather remiss in sharing more festive pics here on my blog.

Here are some more entries from past JYC projects:

Still loving my M&S chalkboard advent calendar I bought last year. :D

When it comes to chocolate calendars, I am still rather partial to a Milkybar one!

But I seem to be managing fine without a chocolate calendar this year. In fact I am really loving some of the advent ideas I've seen on Pinterest:

Love the little pocket bunting. I wish I could sew as neatly and uniformly as that!

This takes it to a whole new level - how wonderful must it be to open one of those unique little boxes each day?

I do very much love an advent calendar with proper little windows that reveal meaningful and beautiful images.

This one gets my vintage-festive-sparkle-lovin' heart a-fluttering! Just love it.

The entry for the 6th looked at Christmas past and Christmas present, and this was my merging of two traditions, Polish and British:

Now I rather wish I'd gone and bought that set of Nativity Russian dolls in John Lewis, but they were £20...

The baby Jesus is just so cute!

On the 7th last year I was not having a stress-free time of it:

Snow = no going anywhere, never mind shopping in an actual shop! My car at that time was living under a couple of feet of snow in front of the house.

So there definitely wasn't much chance of things being simple!

On the 8th I managed to get out and about with the camera and took some lovely photos in town - I just love shop displays, I am sure in another life I would be a window dresser... how cool a job would that be?

Just delightful:

And talking of Windows... the window this year at Fenwick's, Newcastle was a sight to behold, the pics aren't too bad considering it was dusk and there was the glare of other shops on the windows:

Cinderella in her pumpkin carriage.

The white rabbit who seemed to be very late for an important date!

Plenty of choice at the Mad Hatter's tea party! Bet there was some cheeeeese cake on that buffet table.

Me and ma tried to get in on the action talking to the mirror, but didn't quite manage it!

Right I'd best scoot as I'm supposed to be out for dinner tonight!
