Christmas Arch @ Fenwicks

I first saw a Christmas arch last year in Fenwicks in Brent Cross Shopping Centre. I loved it then and told Peter I wanted one. Anyway he said he’ll get me one for this year. When we went to Brent Cross for last Thursday late night shopping at Fenwicks, which I must say was a lot of fun and everything was pretty much discounted up to 20 per cent, we saw this Christmas arch. I love it still but not too keen with the white motiff. I find it too stiff. And the price is even stiffer at £179.00. Well I thought why not make myself one which I can personalise the way I wanted.
So after thinking about it, I thought why not get a garden arch frame and some tinsels, baubles and pretty lights?
I found an arch frame from Argos catalogue selling for £14.99. And I thought I should go to the many pound shops scattered around London. I am sure with £15 – £20 worth of Christmas garlands and baubles I can make a pretty awesome Christmas arch, much, much cheaper than the Fenwicks one and according to my taste too.
I can’t wait to get started. I am so looking forward to Christmas this year. I am pretty sure it would be pretty quiet but the happiest one in years!!!
