Nature provides a lot of the beautiful things we use for Christmas.
Flowers in many different forms, forced bulbs, a variety of citrus fruits as well as many other fruits and nuts, pine trees or branches in the form of Christmas trees or wreaths, moss and pine cones.
It is a rich and varied selection to pick from and it is also very satisfying to use natural materials.
Depending on where you live you can maybe find some of it in your garden, park or nearby wood.
A lot of it you will find in your local farmers market or greengrocer. Some might be picked up in a nearby garden centre or nursery.
If used in combination with old wicker baskets, linen napkins, colourful ribbons and ornaments picked up at car boot sales of flea markets, the final result will be charming and look inviting and seasonal.

Din kavalkad av julbilder är helt underbar. Gillar den varma färgtonen. Du är suverän på att skapa stämningsfulla bilder.

Dearest Ingrid, this setting is gorgeous!!! I love this so much and your idea of picking from the nature! Have a lovely merry happy weeek and love to you!
Dear Ingrid, Your arrangement here looks so very welcoming. It is so true that one does not have to spend a fortune to create effects that are so very special and inviting. Of course, it helps to have the creative flair which clearly you show here.

I love hyacinths growing in wicker baskets. Your photos create just the right Christmas atmosphere for my taste.

Merci de nous montrer vos accords... si parfaits.

Brunt är en underbar kontrastfärg....framhäver liksom det mesta. Jag har också placerat ut bruna kottar lite här och där här hemma....bara för sin bruna färgs skull ;)
Each of theseis so lovely!
Dear Ingrid,
Your decorations look beautiful. Normally I am not such a great fan of Christmas decorations in red, but I am getting to like it more and more.
The wicker basket with the hyacints and Christmas star look lovely!
Åh... så juligt fint du gjort! Rött är sannerligen varmt och ombonande.. precis så som man vill att julen ska vara!

Dear Ingrid, I wrapped today also some bunches of flowers with such ribbons!! they are so christmassy!!! lovely pictures!!!and your arrangements are perfect!!!
You have a great eye for decor! Are you one of those interior decorator who acts instinctively, just move something or add a leaf and they already produced a masterpiece!
I love your picture! It makes feel like x-mas. I think it's probably my fav. of all your photos I've seen since I started following.
Merry x-mas! Jess
Tusen tusen tack för inspirationen.
Det var så snyggt med kottarna så det tar jag nog efter...
Ha det gott

Ingrid, I love your blog. I read a number of your posts and it is just beautiful. I especially love the dried orange rings (I think that is what they are). I would like to try doing that myself. Your photos are beautiful. You have brightened my day!
