In the interests of having a jolly holly Christmas, I thought I would make the patio a little more festive. Where has the year gone by the way?
I cut some holly from my real live holly bush, and then I spray painted it gold. I’m not sure how long this will last on live leaves, but it’s worth a try. Perhaps I should have let them dry out first? But then they may have looked withered. Time will tell.
Once they were dry I put the sprays in a little pot stuffed with oasis foam (the type florists use in arrangements), then topped it off with some of my ubiquitous river pebbles.
It now rests on the outdoor table, attached to the umbrella with a cable tie, to prevent it falling over. Underneath, as though they are under mistletoe, are two kissing cherubs.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Seasons Greetings from Sandi Claus.

I like it, A LOT…. and I love decorating for different Seasons and Holidays, with Christmas being my Favorite.
It’s fun extending the decorations outside too, since entertaining is often done outside at Christmas, because it is in summer in Australia.
Very cute
