Christmas confections

Remember I said I was thinking of a Christmas version of the mushrooms?

Well here they are, magic toadstools. They were one element to go into my package of Christmas confections this year.

Would you like to see more?...Ok here you go!

THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT

 One of my  Flickr friends is the wonderful Haniela.  

 She also has a fabulous blog  with tons of gorgeous recipes.

Last year I feel in love with her Christmas gingerbread table decorations.

I had forgotton all about then until she started posting them again this year and remembered how wonderful they were.

 Anyway I was searching for inspiration for an advent ring (normally I wrap a bit of tinsel around some candles).  So I decided to make my own version.

 I wanted to incorporate some ditsy prints and try an unusual colourway for Christmas, but I like how it turned out.

Happy advent!
