Oh My Goodness Me A Whole Plethora Of Wooden Christmas Decorations

What can I say to my wonderful friend Anne or Mrs A ……….

………. who when sorting out some of her “defunct” Christmas decorations thought of me, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

She remembered the vintage wooden toy Christmas wreath I put together last year and thought I might be able to make use of a few more bits and pieces.

Said wreath was much admired when I put it on my front door last Christmas, with several people asking if I’d make them one too, however, sourcing the wooden bits took a long, long time and if I’m honest, if I asked what it was worth to me in time and effort, they would quickly change their mind!

But after Anne’s very generous and kind thoughts, well, it would be rude not to think about having another go, it might take a while, but it’ll give me a mission, getting me really rummaging  in all those tucked away boxes in the charity shops of Evesham etc. for more wooden pieces. I already have a little wooden village, so I can use a few of the buildings, trees and soldiers to add to this collection. I also have more than enough small bristle Christmas trees, plus flat wooden shapes like gingerbread men and Christmas puddings that I can add Ranger Enamel Accents to, to fill in the smaller gaps and add layers.

As I said it might take time, but I have already set a time goal in my head, so watch this space……..

You can catch Anne on her blog https://itsanalienlife.blogspot.com/.  I was lucky enough to meet up with Anne in Swindon in 2017. She and her friend Dianne had adopted four of my monkeys and we held a little reunion for them all. Let’s just say we never left the hotel in the two days we were there, we were talking and laughing so much, perhaps with Covid restrictions easing another “convention” really should to be on the cards, monkeys and all!
