Just say no to tinsel

I push this every year…Christmas decorations don’t have to be garish and cheap looking…and you certainly don’t need tacky tinsel to get festive.  There are loads of cool decorations you can buy or make yourself.  Love these silver balls with red bows!

And this is gorgeous!  All they’ve done is skewer pretty paper doilies with the globes of the fairy lights.

V. clever.

We may have crazy temperatures over Christmas, and no snow, but white is a beautiful theme to have.  And we shouldn’t have to do without snowflakes…they’re the prettiest Christmas decoration you can find.

For those of you after a more realistic Australian Christmas look fresh foliage is a great accessory

These home made labels are very cute.

And you’ve got to love a gingerbread man who can multi task.

Candles en masse are always amazing…for Christmas it’s worth taking a little time to theme them.

This is such a cool idea! If anyone has a groovy Christmas decoration they make let me know…I’d love to see.

Some more images for those thinking about toning down the tinsel this year…
