If there is no snow pull out a can of spray snow for some humor for the evening

Dear President,Legals and Decorators;Well November is certain;ly starting out with the right concept.The stores have Christmas arranged throughout and all we need is the Christmas music and its ready for another busy season of gifts and food.For my next project I thought of combining traditional colours with seaside flare perhaps.Pastel colours of watermelon pink and aqua or light sea green combined with champagne glasses and pearls and snowflakes on a wine coloured background for fabric..Tree could be accented in the same colour idea.Glassware done in wine colours with gold edging and bows.Dark wine dinnerware with a floral spray in pink aqua and white pearls with gold branches and ribbons.This would be best on a heavy ironstone plate,with casserole dishes to match .These would be sold at Bowrings or the Bay.House decor idea #5 -Exterior lights done in green and clear bulbs .Trees done in green with the lights strung vertically from top to bottom.One tree on each side of the house.On the front lawn have a caroler in a top hat iand tails in clear lights and a few dancing angels also in clear lights.Have a garland for balcony and wooden stairway done in pastel foil crinkle bows with gold twigs .Have a wreath on the front door or a bunch of gold glittered twigs wound with large crinkle bow in aqua or light sea green.This would look great on an ivory or white coloured home.Entry table have minature carriages in wood or crystal glass under an English painting or Christmas scene painting.Toss cushions in the living room done in satins of wine ,pinks and aquas or light green edged with gold cording.Pearled with beads would look best.This should be a Christmas floral pattern or fabric mentioned at the begining.Have a 6-8ft.tree depending on the hight of ceiling.Trim with ivory pearls or flat mother of pearl garland with sculptured edges and gold pearls in between.Ornaments could be porcelein angels in frosted white and glass droplets in pastel colours found at the Bay Guildford.Enhance this with a tree skirt in a solid colour to match or wine coloured satin,with little houses all over it in pastel and gold ribbon and gold braid.Add some snowflakes on this fabric.Have a dancing angel on the top of the tree ,you may also want to add some fellows in white tuxes to be arranged among the dancing angels and ornaments.Dining room area-Have ivory tux or white placemats.These would have the pleats on the sides and the ivory or white swirl jaquard in the centre.Napkins to match.No collar or buttons on these placemats.Ivory or white place cards with Noel written on the back or just gold ribbon.Have silver or brass candle holders on the buffet with the fabric mentiones at the beginningwith a gold fringe or braid.Have wine coloured satin bowson candle holders.Decorative gold and silver plates found at Bowrings for arrangement of delicious apples and cinnamon sticks tied with wine satin ribbon and gold piled liked Christmas trees on each side of the candle holder on the buffet.Have Christmas dinner drink menu printed with choice of desert for formal dinners on small ivory or white cards.There should be only one dinner menu for the main course and that is Turkey ,no menus needed.Kitchen area -Have a wooden dancing angel and caroler with tux on the island or counter made out of either wood or cornstraw.White with ribbon in pastels.Have a wire basket in gold with fruit and Peek Frean cookie pkgs.or other well known brand name .Tie with a wine or light aqua ribbon.Have large Christmas cookie cutters on the counter tied with satin bows.in wine.Bathrooms-also have the dancing angel and caroler with a tux done in satins with ivory or white porcelein soap dish with individual soaps with gold Christmas logo or sticker.You could also take a Body Shop bar wrap in foil ribbon and add a sticker for decorative appeal.Pin or sew satin ribbons to the towels hanging in pastel or wine coloured and gold or a printed satin ribbon,to match the fabric mentioned.Afew champange glasses with with coloured bath beads,and a white and gold pointsetta on the counter or toilet tank or small glass table.Have white or ivory velour bath mat and towels.Bedrooms have ggold snowflakes hanging from the door knobs as well as on any french doors.Back yard -Have a pond effect done in lights of clear and pinks,greens and blues or greens and blues on wire picks in the grass area with wire trees in green and carriages in blues and greens.Make wire frame to look like waterfall and rocks with walkway lights from the back porch or french doors if there are any.Serve a crockpot of apple cider with cinnamon sticks found at Safeway called Lynches and candied cranberries and chocolate gingerbread men while you listen to carols and view the garden.If there is no snow pull out a can of spray snow for some humor for the evening.I hope this has inspired many more ideas and hopefully I will come up with something as creative next time ,sincerely Louise Marica Robertson/Veronica Webb.PSI forgot to mention the fireplace mantle wher you made want to add some crystal carolers and dancing angels with gold decorative edged ribbon or wine coloured or have them done in velvet,with white or ivory and gold trimmed ribbon.
