Festive decorations
Deck the halls with Anvil Cottage Crafts!
The annual unboxing of the Christmas decorations makes us feel quite nostalgic. It’s lovely to see those old favourites that remind us of Christmases past. You might have an annual tradition of adding something new to your collection that can become a much treasured piece. Our Christmas decorations are made to last, so you can bring them out time after time and make memories with your loved ones. Here are some festive favourites from Anvil Cottage Crafts.
Christmas wreath
You know the festive season has arrived when wreaths start to appear on front doors across our towns, villages and city centres. Christmas wreaths add a really welcoming touch to a home. Our wreath is made from end of stock horseshoes, making it ideal for horse lovers, country living enthusiasts and anyone looking for a special decorative piece.
Traditional wreaths made from foliage, beautiful though they are, will only last for one Christmas. You can enjoy our horseshoe wreath for years and make it the focal point of any celebration. In December, weave a red scarf or russet blooms through the wreath, and by contrast, in the summertime add pinks and yellows to make it just the thing for a garden party. This stylish piece can be used inside or outdoors adding to its versatility.
Christmas tree
Sitting resplendent in a sitting room or bay window, the Christmas tree is at the heart of any family festive gathering and rose to popularity in Victorian times. Today we like to have trees of varying sizes dotted around the home from the kitchen to the bedroom and bathroom. The Christmas tree is the perfect decoration.
At Anvil Cottage Crafts, we offer a choice of 3,4 or 5 tier Christmas trees in two styles made from horseshoes. Our unique trees will add a rustic touch to your Christmas decor. You can add decorations and lights to ensure that your tree twinkles to perfection. What’s more, with our trees there are no worries about disposing of them once the festivities have come to an end. You can enjoy your horseshoe tree for many Christmases to come.
Star decoration
If you opt for simple yet stylish when it comes to your interiors, our minimalist star decoration is right up your street. Our 5-sided star made from horseshoe nails would look gorgeous hung on the Christmas tree, on the wall or on a door. Adding that extra festive touch to your home decor.
However, you can display a star all year round, so you don’t need to pack away our vintage style piece on twelfth night. Rather, you can enjoy it throughout the seasons. Our star decoration would also make the perfect gift for a loved one, because to you, they are a star!
