o, christmas tree!

to jumpstart the christmas season, we bought a tree :) nothing fancy. just an 180cm tall, ordinary fake tree. its our first Christmas on our own so we start on a blank slate. bought some trimmings here and there. nothing expensive either. we will eventually get to the point of adding new trimmings every year to this tree. for now, were having an animal-themed boho christmas where everything is inexpensive or handmade by me :) well, almost everything.i dont know about you but i am strongly feeling the need to spend less money on things this season and far more quality time taking short trips with the mister. i dont even know what i want this christmas. but enough of that. since the mister has a fondness for his mother's cat Diva, i bought a stuffed, knitted trimming of a smiling cream-colored one. she's so cute!when it comes to decorating this season, im working mostly with what ive got, trying to create something fresh and new, but not spend money on things i dont need. the tree costs 15euros in Carrefour, the little paper angels i bought in a Scandinavian shop in Spain for 1.95 euros for a pack of 10, the blue and silver balls are thrifted for 1euro for a pack of 5, and the blue stars and silver icicles are from Saverland for £1 for a pack of 5. the pack of 140 blue rice lights are from a Chinese shop in Spain for 17euros.
