Christmas Garden Party


I'm hosting a Christmas cocktail party in the garden this year. When entertaining outside, I love to hang lanterns from the trees. As it's Christmas, I'll also tie some over-size Christmas decorations, like silver baubles, onto the branches. Then I'll add some fairy lights. Now I just need to mow the lawn, get the aeroguard etc.

Love lanterns, and hanging from a tree sound gorgeous! A friend of mine decorates her Poinciana with oversized Christmas decorations and it looks fabulous! I can recommend when outdoor entertaining (in Brissie with mozzies or midgies) to use the outdoor Mortein or Raid lanterns. If you use two or three you don't even need repellant. :)

Great tip! Sounds like you're an old hand at the outdoor entertaining. Will be buying those Raid lanterns for sure.

About Spots and Stripes

When I began my third renovation, I swapped the corporate ladder for the rusty paint ladder and began my website and blog, Spots and Stripes, which chronicles the restoration of our 'Queenslander' in Brisbane. I'm also an interior editor helping clients to create a home which is not modern, nor traditional, rather it's interesting. For a home that is unlike any other, I can assist with the selection of lights, tiles, mirrors, wallpaper, paint, furniture and fabric.
