Thanks
Julia from Hooked on Houses,
Boomama,
Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick and
Rhoda from Southern Hospitality for hosting Holiday House Tours! I'm joining with my oh so humble Christmas Home Decorations...and I'm looking forward to visit all of you who participate...

A tiny tree outside...and a small one in the living room....Growing up in Switzerland with real trees that had
real candles burning, I'm now enjoying the convenience of using the same tree each year and turning the magic on and off with a switch..., most of you do, right?

...I took some of my favorite shells and put them over the lights...

...and the starfish, well, it sits casually on the branches...

...and the lights on the porch which we can see from the kitchen and the living room just add that little bit of extra festivity..., so I hope you enjoy the season and touring all the homes at
Hooked on Houses,

Thanks for joining my blog party! I'm fascinated by the idea of using real candles on a Christmas tree. I didn't know they still did that in Switzerland.
Really like the idea of putting the seashells on your Christmas tree. What a clever idea! -Julia :-)

Everything is so perfectly coastal beautiful. I drooling over your lovely things! I love your blog and will be back. Snow on your coast...how awesome.
The shells over the lights is such a cute idea and I love your view with the lights.
Oh gosh between me and my brother we would have burnt the house down with real candles, I am sure my parents have loved the convenience (and safety) of artificial lights for all these years! :) Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha...Love the expression, "turning the magic on and off with a switch." Hysterical! (and so true. :-)
I love your coastal tree. We managed to put up a coastal wreath. That I promptly forgot to take pictures of before heading back to the city for the week. Alas.
