Table Ornaments for Christmas made with glass storage jars that I bought in Ikea! All you need is shredded coconut, small Christmas ornaments and a glass jar, and you´ve created your own, beautiful table decor!
I don´t know about you guys, but I get most of my inspiration from Pinterest and that is where I got the idea to make these easy, but yet striking, glass jar table ornaments for Christmas.
As you guys can see in the photo above,I simply used cut off pieces of an old Christmas Tree, the front piece of a Reindeer ornament, and a Santa Claus wine bottle stopper 🙂 🙂 You can use anything you have, just rummage your box with your Christmas decorations and you´ll find tons of things, trust me!

This post is a collaboration that I´m doing with Lauren Caris Cooks and it´s the 1st in a three part series…
Nr 2 & 3 will include YouTube videos, AND nr 2 just might include a main dish idea for Christmas…. Yes, I know, I blog about desserts, but Christmas is different, and anyway I have this awesome recipe I want to share with you guys. Every time I make it everyone loves it, and isn´t Christmas the perfect time for sharing 🙂
Lauren is originally from London but lives in Zurich, Switzerland, and the funny thing is that we know each other because of a mutual “real life” friend, Carmela, who doesn´t blog about anything 🙂 This world is smaller than we think…
If you haven´t picked up your copy of the Project Christmas Cookbook with 20 mouthwatering recipes that I created with 9 other fantastic food bloggers, I would like to encourage you to do so. All the proceeds will go to the No Kid Hungry campaign, to help stop childhood hunger. This is the time of year to really open your heart.. Most of us have alot to be thankful for, and this is a way we can show how thankful we are for that what we have. No child should be hungry 🙁
This week Wednesday I´ll be posting another Christmas recipe, think pumpkin pie, think white chocolate, think super tasty… Still to come after that are two Christmas cupcake recipes, the 2 collab videos with Lauren, and at least one of those Italy posts I´ve promised you guys about 🙂
Happy weekend guys, make it a great one, I´m heading off to see some snow, so be sure to follow me on Instagram or Twitter if you wan´t to see where I´m going… 🙂

These are just the kind of Christmas decorations that I absolutely love. I was actually thinking about making some of these. They really remind me of my grandma’s little Christmas village that she always had when I was little. So cute!

Your grandma´s Christmas village sounds amazing, I love childhood memories like those.. makes these special occasions so much more special.. 🙂
