Christmas Inspirations - Mister Finch and Wild Acre Flowers

Other people's blogs are a constant source of inspiration a 5 minute blog hop and I'm longing to decorate a mantle shelf with old jars for tea light holders and toadstools like Mister Finch who says, "Lots of toadstools and candles in jars. Simple.... and to be honest looks really nice all year round!"

I also want to make a wreath like Belinda's,  Belinda likes her wreaths "quite skinny and sparse, slightly quirky and unexpected".  I can get an almost endless supply of hogweed seedheads and as I too love this wreath's  "snowy ice-queenishness" I'm going to try and give this a go.
