December


 Can you believe Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! Decorating is still happening here at Hopscotch Lane. Here is our buffet table for this year. The adorable little deer are ornaments found at World Market (they might be my favorite thing this year). The bottle brush tree is from World Market as well. The white cake stands were found at Hobby Lobby and the vintage crochet potholder is from an estate sale. I love the whole vintage vibe.

Last night I worked on our Ikea gingerbread house with disastrous crumbly results. First thing this morning I was determined to make the walls stay up so out came the glue gun! I placed it on a white Ikea doily style tray with some evergreens trimmed off the bottom of our tree and added a tea light for extra light. I love the smell of gingerbread!


A few more gifts need to be bought and wrapped and lots of cookies and sweets have to be baked! 
How are your Christmas festitvities and preparations going?

    Well I've never thought of using a glue gun on a gingerbread house, might use the staple gun to keep my omelettes together, they always break up as I'm taking them out of the pan! Love those little deers too! :)

    It all looks really lovely and that's a perfect idea putting the little deer on the stands...very very Christmassy!

    keep well

    Your gingerbread house turned out great! I love that cake plate. I almost bought one when I saw it at HL.

    Don't forget not to eat the gingerbread house. Imagine eating the glue - lol! I love the little reindeers. They remind me of nursery transfers my Dad put on the toybox he made me when I was born. So you have a link to the shop please? Lily. xxx

    I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. I have never attempted a gingerbread house so will make sure I do next year. Take care. Chel
