We got a little snow and immediately it put me in the mood for some Christmas decorating. Plus, I'm hosting a baby shower here this weekend, so why not? :) I know we're moving in a few weeks, but I couldn't resist.
I put some bells from the Dollar Tree (I've had these for 2 years now, but I still see them there!) in a glass jar and placed it on top of a candle holder I snatched from my desk in the laundry room. You can buy them 9 in a box at the DT~I love them for glass fillers.

Inexpensive silver balls from Target 90% clearance last year with some moss:
My little kitchen corner is pretty similar to last years. My big candy sticks from the Dollar Tree (2 for $1 and my store had them again this year) survived the summer! I wrapped them individually in tissue paper and stored them in a shoebox. The green balls came in a tube from the DT, the milk glass vase was $1 at a yard sale this summer, and the big bell was from a Target clearance.
I just hot glued some moss on a foam tree and placed it on a cream plate. String some cream and red berries around the base with a little greenery and you're good to go:
I'll have more to show you as I'm froofing things for the shower~
thank you to everyone who has rated my project over at Michaels. If you haven't, you still can! Thanks, y'all!
Have a great weekend~
What? You're moving?! How'd I miss that. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteLove your decor. The silver ornaments with the moss is a really fun effect.
Have a great weekend!
beautiful finds!

ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you're decorating even though you're moving! I can't seem to get done and I'm NOT moving! :-) It's all pretty, but I love that first photo of the snow on the red bench. Have a good weekend...
Love it. I thought of you when I picked up my peppermint sticks this year. =) You're a huge inspiration, and, I, for one, am selfishly glad that you're moving, so we can see you work or magic on a new house. ;)
ReplyDeleteMerr Chtistmas, Melissa!
I am also impressed that the decor just didn't stay in the box!
ReplyDeleteYou've got that touch. I just love your blog because I need the creative help. Keep 'em coming. Thanks!!
