  • In today's video I am sharing a sneak peak at some of my Christmas decor (I'm still working on the finishing touches before my home tour) and sharing a fun Christmas craft. I also take you along with me to a German Christmas Market in Amherst, NH. Enjoy!

    Suggestion: Instead of gluing the last 2 sides together - use 2 paper clips. This way, after the holiday season, you can remove the paper clips and you'll be able to fold the ornament closed and store it away until next year.

      I actually thought of doing that, but believe it or not, I didn't have any in the house. lol. I will do that next time and just store these in my tree ornament box which has dividers so they won't get smooshed. Thank you for the suggestion Sandra.

    Your Christmas beeswax candles were gorgeous. All the different shapes and colors are beautiful together! The ornaments are so unique! My favorite is the taupe colored one. They look so great as a garland. I would love to attend a German Christmas Market! I would , of course, indulge in the baked goods, as its something I really don't do. I just went to a high school Christmas boutique here in my town ,and I always buy spice or sugared nuts when I see them. They are one of my guilty pleasures this time of year. ANd anything gingerbread!

    • @mynewenglandstory
      @mynewenglandstory  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh I agree with you Liane, I love any gingerbread or molasses cookie!

    Very nice ,fun project Carla. I have sooo many old cupcake liners I can use. I’m going to get my 2 Granddaughters involved in this during Christmas break. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for the lovely house tour. Sending love and prayers for a Blessed Christmas for you and yours.

      Amherst is such a quaint Village, fun to walk around any time of year .....so many beautiful houses to look at. They have a very cute General Store in the center of Town also. Enjoy!

    Going to try this craft. So cool. I have 8 ladies coming to my home for a cookie exchange. I was wanting to make them something.
    Thanks to you I have my idea. Thank you for sharing. I love your home.

    • @mynewenglandstory
      @mynewenglandstory  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh perfect! I hosted something similar years ago....we did a cookie exchange and we each brought an easy craft to make with enough supplies for all of the ladies to make. We had so much fun making our crafts and had plenty of laughs. Enjoy!!

    Beautiful candles Carla, & the paper decorations are lovely! I see you take English Home magazine, that’s one of my favourites to read. The mirror you have treated looks really pretty. Looking forward to your Christmas Home Tour! 🎄

    • @mynewenglandstory
      @mynewenglandstory  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Possibly, if I ever open up my Online Store which is something I would like to do in the future....mainly to sell some of my consignment finds.

    Chestnuts! What do they taste like? I have seen them in the grocery store but just bought for decor.

    • @mynewenglandstory
      @mynewenglandstory  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They were kind of soft. My friend that I went with said the ones she has had before were not soft and tasted much better, almost a little sweet. This was my first time having them.
