This week we had a festive get together and swapped the Coffee for a glass of bubbly. We chatted about what's been happening on the high Street unfortunately due to reports not a great sales record, but saying that we hope we have encouraged a few of you to shop more local and most importantly buy British handmade.
Christmas advert of the week.
This week's blog is all about decoration and the Christmas table as it is food inspired, we decided to look at Christmas adverts with food and Aldi is definitely our winner with Kevin the Carrot winning our hearts.The latest one is about Kevin the Carrot meets AuberGenie, a mysterious, magical vegetable who grants him three dishes!we have included the video for you to take a look great imagination, thank you Aldi. https://youtu.be/65zp1RvrkgA We also took a look at Iconic Fortnum and Mason's windows,with oversized hampers and a colourful display of sweets, the windows just pull's you in and make's you want to buy lots of beautifully packaged goodies and treats.
These windows gave us inspiration to present our very own Bob Christmas table setting. Using just a few accessories and a must have Bob cake stand we decided to create a natural festive display with off cuts from the tree, easy to do at home and quick, we used cinnamon sticks, candy sticks crystallised fruit decoration candles a handmade bob bauble and two pomanders,
we also used a pice of ribbon and a off cut of the christmas tree to display the cutlery.
following the theme of green red and gold we found some pretty napkins and crackers and used other accessories around the home.
Hopefully you have been trying out the blogs and have your pomanders and bauble to add a touch of festive display and a centre talking piece for all the family to enjoy at your Christmas table.
As we have just a few days to go
have a wonderful Christmas and we will see you in the new year
