One of my favourite Christmas memories is my first Christmas I was dating my now husband. We had been invited to his parents to help decorate their tree. They are BIG fans of the festive season and I honestly didn’t think that poor tree could possibly withstand the weight of another decoration.

There were so many! From all over the world and each with their own story to tell, they really ignited my own desire to build up my own epic collection. So, in addition to trying to buy some wherever we are on our travels, I have also been making some every year.

However, as you know, we’ve got a bigger house to fill this year (if indeed we get moved in for Christmas) so I have been looking into Ornament Swaps. I’ll be keeping you updated with any I find.
