After my trip through Leavenworth‘s year round Christmas shop my thoughts are filled with all things decorative so I went looking through my photos to see what other embellished delights I could lay my hands on.
Bright red eggs make a pretty centrepiece for a traditional Greek Easter celebration. They also provide the ingredients for a great after-dinner game.
Beautifully ornate Turkish pottery that I would have bought if it weren’t for the fact I had only an overstuffed backpack and it would have smashed for sure. Those colours just make me happy.
Manhattan’s Upper West Side doesn’t pull any decorative punches on Hallowe’en; this dreadful creature was so lifelike it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up in terror.

Hi Ailsa and backpackfriends, here’s my contribution.
In my opinion, when it comes to decoration, nature ‘s just unbeatable, don’t you agree?
And so is this bumblebee …

I love the beautifully decorated Turkish pottery, but the Halloween horror, not so much. 😯

We still remember the decorative walls, columns, ceilings, and niches at Amber Fort in Jaipur, India. Stunning even today. http://ohtheplaceswesee.com/2014/07/14/travel-theme-decoration/

I love your first two choices for this theme, Ailsa (I’ll be honest though, that last one really creeps me out too!). Here’s my take for the week:
Really wish I hadn’t missed this one! Wonderful Ailsa!
