Pretty, little things, that don't cost the earth.
So when I come across a 'thing', I do this little OMG clappy dance :-)
See my silver stand and glass dome - that was a 'thing'.
Isn't it gorgeous?
Look at the little, silver stag head on the top.
I am on the lookout for some tiny silver baubles to fill the dome.
But... I'm really here to show you my Christmas Topiary Trees.
I made these at the weekend, after seeing them all over blogland.
You can make them in anything to match your decor and they are very easy to do.
I used some 12 x 12 christmas paper, rolled into a cone shape.
You can use anything really, as you're going to cover it, but make sure it's quite sturdy. (mine crumpled a bit at the bottom with the glue I used).
With dabs of tacky glue, just wind round whatever material you like to cover the cone.
I used some whispy, hemp string, some silver tinsel and some white wool.
The white wool cone is really gorgeous IRL, as it's sprinkled all over with glamour dust.
Google 'christmas cone trees' for some really amazing designs.

Ooo I love the dome glass! I am in the middle of renovating my house and soon I will have chance to buy 'little things' and I cannot wait to get my paws on some 'little things' like those! The christmas trees are so sweet too, so simple but so effective.
