oh tannenbaum






Here we go: My Tannenbaum (just love that word).

A couple of years ago I started to collect
little birds aka Christmas ornaments.
My idea was to have one day
a Christmas tree full of birds and elfs (for Nila).
It will take some time but I tell you we are getting there.

The next couple of days are just mad,
full of Christmas parties,
food shopping,
swapping Christmas cards
and some last minute baking.

What will you do this Christmas???

see you
kay

ps:  I was very sad to hear that Cesaria  Evora, a wonderful musican, passed away.

I love your "tannenbaum" and the idea of collecting birds over the years. Christmas is such a time of memories too isn't it - I remember my artist grandmother's tree was filled with colorful birds - so different from any other trees I had ever seen. Your tree looks lovely! Happy holidays :) K.

Your 'joulukuusi' with birds is so beautiful. My sister always decorates our tree at my parents house.

The best collections are the ones that take time-they hold the memories and stories for you to keep. Your tree is lovelier every passing year.

Merry Christmas to you and Nila and Mr. Kay and all the kitties!
