As The Crow Flies - Donna Shapton

For my friend Kim C ;)

Decorating children’s rooms for Christmas :)

A little treat for everyone :) A wonderful friend of mine has decorated her gorgeous Victorian home for Christmas. The history and charm of her home embrace every visitor with warmth during the Christmas season and throughout the year :)

What a gorgeous ”nature themed” table setting :)

A very sweet little children’s demitasse cups Christmas tree. I just love this idea :)

So many fun ways to decorate for Christmas :)

Over the fields we go!!! :)

:)

I have a couple of old stocking stretchers and thought this would be a great idea for Christmas!!!!!

A beautiful vintage Christmas village made of balsa wood :)

Di**le, Dangle, Christmas cow bells :)

Little bird nests can be used to add some whimsy to your decor during any season :) Tuck them into your Christmas wreaths and garland, etc… I only use nests that I find fallen on the ground and not still in the trees and bushes :) A little winged soul might use them next year :)

A simple Christmas pillow on a guest bed is a nice little touch :)

A marvellous Santa tree :)

I find it amazing what people can’t do with an old, unloved, piece of furniture!! :)

Enjoy the warmth and charm from these beautiful Christmas fireplaces and mantles :)

A lovely collection of red transferware :) I love the little coffee nook :)

This beautiful old door that dates back to the 14th Century is in Exeter, UK and contains the oldest cat flap ;) Even kitties way back then needed to get out for fresh air and catch a mouse or two :) Photo courtesy of my friend Carol :)

Very Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! Enjoy your time with friends and family :)

Simple but elegant :)

Some lovely blue transferware. What do you suppose they’re doing in the middle plate? Looks like they’re trying to catch a little mouse perhaps :)
