A woman has decked out the ceiling of her living room with a whopping 1,700 Christmas baubles.Sylvia Pope, 68, started decorating her home in Swansea at the end of September and doesn't expect to finish until Christmas Day.She already has a bauble collection that numbers 1,700 - which has been brought from all around the world - and each year she spends a further £100 buying new decorations.With it getting harder for her to climb up to individually pin the baubles, Sylvia is now considering leaving them in place all year round.She said: “I've got some little fairy lights in the corners of the room, on the hearth and out in the conservatory - but the balls on the ceiling are the main feature.“It's just nice and cosy for Christmas.”According to Sylvia her best bauble buying experience was when she visited Macy's in New York and was overwhelmed with the choice on offer.On that trip she walked away with 30 new decorations and even had to buy a new bag to carry them all home in.Some of her most expensive baubles cost £14 each and were brought from Harrods in London.
