The (Indoor!) Tree in January

 
It was only when I started to write this post that I realised that I have two "monthly" trees.  There's the tree at Holly Dog's house and the tree in my sitting room.  

Several years ago I bought the tree in the sitting room as a Christmas decoration but it got left out so I decided it could be a seasonal tree with (I hope) something different each month.  In August it was bees.  September I moved on to squirrels, pumpkins and hedgehogs.  They were a bit late up so they stayed for October too but in November I went for a Scottish theme of thistles in honour of St Andrew's Day.   December I didn't show you but it was just baubles as part of the general Christmas decorations.  

But in my stocking I got some little hats to hang on my Christmas tree.  I thought they would be just the job for January.

  5. They are just so sweet! I listened to the shipping forecast the other morning; it was all 'gale force 9, storm force 10, violent storm 11'. They would have to use glue to have any chance of keeping their hats on!

  7. I love the little seasonal tree-one of my neighbours does a similar thing and it sits at her front window. She worked in a nursery school and is now retired with several grandchildren but says she likes to keep up the tree decorations from her time working with pre-5s. Catriona

    1. I think it's probably colder with you than it is here. Look after yourself.
