62 With Christmas just around the corner we all like to bring the festive spirit into our homes. We put up Christmas trees, bake cookies and some people even decorate their entire houses. In Swakopmund we drive around and look at all the fairy lights and decorations put up all over people's houses as if they are competing to be the brightest and most colourful. We usually leave for the festive season so we pack our Christmas tree and take it to the summer home. We went to Flowered Earth in Windhoek, spoke to Amanda and she gave us a few simple ideas of what you can do with just a few flowers, candles and Christmas decorations. If you are not very creative, you would leave it to the experts like Amanda and just go out and buy them. This is what she showed us. desIgn Namibia October - December 2013
