Hello there & Happy Wednesday! It’s a lovely day here in the South of Spain. This time of year is, when I get a bit melancholical sometimes and miss the Northern way of life. A real Northern Feeling. I feel, like I need to wake up to a soft white blanket of snow and feel the season. It’s just how I am. Decorating always helps me express this feeling and I so enjoy it. So I made a little simple Holiday village in a jar that is covered in snow. I hope you like it.
It’s also day 8 of our 12 days of Christmas countdown and you can find the last post I shared participating here.

Simple Holiday Village In A Jar

What I used:
fairy light
small card houses [I doodled mine with a black pencil crayon and cut them out]
I started by filling the jar with the artificial snow and then adding the fairy lights too. After, I put in the little trees and at the end, I just stuck the cardboard houses in between the trees. That’s all!
This little village in a jar pretty much explains itself, right? It is so easy to put together and looks so cozy at night with the lights on!
I hope you like this little village in the jar, Thank you so much for visiting today!

05/12/2018 at 12:43 pmSo simple to make and completely magical! It reminds me of a beautiful snowy night when the stars are shining and the pretty soft flakes are coming down. It takes me back to a Christmas Eve many years ago as a kid when I was helping my dad shovel the driveway. Love it!

10/12/2018 at 3:09 pmI’m convinced I’ll recognise one of your drawings anywhere. Just like your beautiful minimalistic decor style, it’s so distinct and unique. The little holiday village is toooo cute. Hope you do get that snowy blanket feeling soon when you guys go on holiday. I bet you do miss it a lot. I don’t think I’d know what to do with myself if I saw real snow 😀
