Celebrate this Festive Season and take the inside out.

Decorate your table with baskets filled with herbs and christmas fragrances from the garden.

 

Since we are blessed with great weather, sunny skies and beautiful gardens, take the inside out and enjoy a festive Christmas outdoors. Our early mornings and evenings are calm, tranquil and peaceful. Make use of these special times outdoors and create an inviting festive settings outdoors. It is so easy, especially when you use the garden as your backdrop and colour palette.

Use colourful ingredients are decorations, as seen here with these ripe, festive and juicy tomatoes, fresh from the garden.

 

Do not forget your 4 legged friends...........

Being outdoors means that there are no restrictions for your special friends. Just remember to have a generous supply of Peanut Butter cookies on hand!

Using simple, everyday ingredients these Doggy treats are quick and easy to prepare. Your 4 legged friends will love you more with each morsel. Great Santa treats and stocking fillers!!

Look around your garden for inspiration and make use of the magical settings.

 

I even take my decorations outside......an absolute treat when the sun catches the crystal beads!

Add some creative touches to adorn your guests chairs. It is fun to use what you have available in your garden at the time of your function. Here I have used the ever available Bay Tree leaves.

So, the countdown has begun. One week to go to Christmas Eve......complete your shopping lists and plan your outdoor setting ....with all the detail it deserves. Go ahead and enjoy the festive preparations.
Until next time.....be merry!!!
