Pale and hopefully, interesting

So the Number 10 Christmas tree is again non-traditional. Just a few sticks thrown together

MONT had a trip to Kinglake last week and brought me home some lovely branches..

I started with this to make sure it was going to "work"



Then took to it with a couple of cans of spray paint...white undercoat to be exact.

I didn't want it to be saturated with the white paint, I wanted more of a white-washed look

...and I think I achieved that



The decorations are all neutral too....just a slight hint of pale pink on a couple


...and plenty of crystals and baubles...


Then I added a couple of lights...not too many, but maybe it needs a few more


Almost there...

Limoncello time again

Bottles? - check

Vodka? - check

Sugar syrup? - check

Lemons? - check, check, check!!





...and you'll need about 6 weeks and some patience to transform these little beauties, 

Into these...



Which eventually become this.



Take my word for it...it's a mighty tasty drop
