One of the best things about an Australian Christmas is the abundance of gorgeous stone fruit, and relaxing in the summer heat. Make the most of what we've got with this whimsical cherry & vintage finds Christmas theme. This theme is perfect for hanging in the local park or bush backyard. It's a great way to spend the day outside while christmas dinner is baking. And the water balloon 'snowballs' are a brilliant way to cool off. I am loving the red and white candycane colours with a little distressed teal thrown in. The colours are just so aussie bush christmas! I can't help but think this gorgeous retro red bike would make a great christmas present too!

Decoration Inspiration

• Start scouting around op shops now for old glass cake stands and platters, they work for so many themes, and have a great vintage theme.
• Any old whire crates are perfect to contain you're probs - alternate between disressed wire, distressed teal, and bright christmas red. Buy Teal & Red spray paint from you're local hardware store. To get the distressed teal look - spray paint small areas at a time, and immeadiately wipe off with news paper (wear gloves!).
• Hang Cherrys from thin ribbon from trees as 'mistle toe'
• Find Red, White & Teal Throw Rugs, and cushions and scatter them in shady spots
• Collect cute red & white ribbons, to make your napkin holders and place settings fill a wire basket with white ballons, and label them 'snow balls'
• Another brilliant christmas present idea that goes with this theme is a croquet set!
• Hang cutout 'snowflakes' from some kitchen twine from the branches of the trees.
• Purchase some heavy stock paper with the cherry red, white and teal theme, you can use them to make paper cones full of cherries, gift tags, and the snowflake cuttouts
