where it begins
where my Christmas journey begins - in my store-room. when we renovated this house, I wanted a store-room, so we designed a little room off the verandah - outside. Thank God it is outside, 'cause it is an absolute mess!
come, take a peek
I try so, so hard to keep it tidy, I really do but ...... well the pixies get in there sometimes!
the angel above is one I made a few years ago - she was actually in a country magazine which led to orders for her - I made so many that year, I haven't made one since.
and following are some bits n pieces that I use to decorate my home. There is a vintage nativity scene that is home-made - I saw it in a window of a junk shop one night - the next day I was on the doorstep begging the owner to sell it to me - which she did for $30. My santa collection and my nutcracker collection are packed into vintage suitcases.

Happy Advent Robyn!!
How cool....I wish I had a storage room as neat and organized as this one appears to be..it woudl make my decorating soooo much easier....all of my stuff is stuck up in the attic.....it's a pain to drag it all down....there isn't even a light up there so i have to hope i can find a flashlight that works...LOL
so far I've put up my tree....that's only because I bought a new artificial one the other day ....so it was already downstairs..LOL
sorry I haven't been commenting much lately..been feeling kinda down....but i have been reading... i really enjoy our blog....
I would love to have a store room. I dream of that happening! Sadly this house doesn't lend itself to that but hopefully someday I'll have one. Thanks for sharing yours with us. You have lovely decorations.
Ooooo...is it already December 2? hee heeee! you have some cool Christmas goodies! I love vintage Shiny Brite glass ornaments! I'll take pics of them!
I love your storeroom. I have a very cute under the stairs cupboard with a really old wooen door that I put spare food articles in you know bottles of juice, jam etc.
Santa's workshop!! Where are the elves :-D
thanks for the tour of this magical space. xox
Oooh Robyn..this looks like a treasure trove of Christmas goodies...what a great storage space. I'd love to have a root around in here and see what I could find...LOL
Can't wait to see your decorations in place..xx
You're lucky you have an extra room. I love the santa hanging on the wall. I have to go hit the basement tomorrow and start hauling stuff up!
Your store room looks chock full of goodies and so organized, too! I need to drag myself through the garage and dig out our Christmas decorations still. Thanks for inspiring me!

Wow,,I would love to have a storage room for all of my Christmas deco. All of mine is in my artroom closet,,thankfully it is a walk in closet. Hope you have a wonderful week-end. I wish I was there,its too cold here.
Oh Robyn, I think I would spend way too much time in that room just soaking up the Christmas feeling. It's a wonderful store room. I love the Christmas Treasures boxes and the angels and the nativity and santas and snowmen and colorful lights and everything!! You are a Christmas wonder.
Oooh how I'd love to go in your storage room and look at all your Christmassy goodies...from what I can see, it's all gorgeous:-) I can't wait to see pictures of it all set up in your home!! Enjoy decorating dear Robyn:-) xoxox
Oh isn't it fun going through all the goodies....the memories attached to each one. Have fun decorating. Robyn...I was thinking you have longer days in December in the Southern Hemisphere...more time to do everything! :-)
What a great store room you have for all of your Christmas treasures Robyn! Oh and btw I'm absolutely in love with your new blog design, it's simply gorgeous! I'll never get how you do this, but I so wish I could do it too *sigh*! A happy first of Advent to you and your family! xox
