Five days ago I decided to start decorating our apartment for Christmas!  I started with the tree and since then, I relish going home more as the smell of fresh pine just makes me happy!  Nix and I decided to use the long weekend to get some ideas on how we would decorate the house.  We first started out in Evangelista Street in Makati.  For those not in the know, this area in our local version of  the Clingancourt Market in Paris!  LOL!  ( Please manage everyone’s expectations!) It’s a series of streets in Makati that sells old
stuff.  I just love going here as you never know what you’re going to find. This trip was quite a success, as we found these amazing candlesticks for just 350 pesos each!  (reminder to self that I should do an entry on all our finds).

Found this sculpture interesting in Evangelista. It's so baduy that it's actually cool! I also found these chairs that we could refinish but the last thing we need are more chairs in our tiny apartment.

We stayed for less that an hour and then headed to Rustan’s as Nix wanted to get COCO!  COCO is our new love!  He is actually a ceramic monkey!  When I saw him it was love at first sight!  We had to have
him!  He was the cornerstone of our Christmas theme, which we christened  “A very Quirky Christmas!”

We then headed off to Shoemart as this for me is the best place to find the best deals in town. Nix and I went mad in the Christmas decor department!   We were so happy when the cashier ran up our bill as it was just a little over 5,000 pesos!  That was it!  We were able to get most of  our decor in for that!  Is that not amazing or what?  I love SHOEMART!

Our apartment in Christmas mode.

Our apartment is not done yet but its still a work in progress.  In the meantime, I am in search for ribbons and more notions to spruce up our tree!  When it’s done I will have a Cocktail Christmas party!!!
