Anyway, I just thought I’d share some of my favourite Christmas decorations that are up on the family tree. Over recent years I’ve taken to buying a special Christmas decoration if I go somewhere different, or on holiday etc. I’m hoping that I can start building a nice little collection that will remind me of good memories and places for years to come.
This technically isn't my own decoration, but it always takes pride of place near the top of the tree. It was my Grandma's Christmas decoration from the 1950's. It's so delicate and pretty, without being overwhelming. I just love that it's lasted all this time and through the family generations.
Each of these came in a set of three, containing a large, medium and small decoration. I adore these because I think they're quite unusual and love the hand painted patterns on them. I purchased both sets from Camden Market and I think they were £7 a set.
I got this bauble at the Empire State building gift shop when I was 17. I went as part of a trip with my school and felt so lucky and overwhelmed; the city was amazing. That trip holds some wonderful memories for me and now I have this lovely bauble to remind me of the fun times that I had.
This little guy came from my road trip in July. One of the places I went to along the way was Carmel. It was a pretty little place and (rather oddly) they had a Christmas shop. I love gingerbread men, so thought he would be a nice little addition.
On the same road trip, I bought this cable car decoration, reminding me of the gorgeous San Francisco. It's quite sweet and definitely a signature aspect of the city.
So those are just some of my favourites. I love how individual Christmas trees/ decorations in general are so unique to each person/ family. Decorating is such a lovely way to get into the festive spirit :).
