Today I'm sharing some of the Christmas decorating going on around here.
For starters I bought this tree after Christmas a few years ago....I love the silver, and added some of my blue glass ornaments, and gold and bronze. I love it on my turquoise sideboard in my entryway.

in half bath downstairs I used a clear cup hook and attached a berry square wreath & added beautiful silk green ribbon with red velvet polka dots |

I love mercury glass it has an antique look finish and brings elegance to a room. Most of the pieces I have purchased, and I have several others not shown here I picked up after Christmas for mere $. I love shopping the day after Christmas because next year when you get out the Christmas it's all brand new!
I try to buy the best looking greens & ribbons I think it does pay off in the after look. Like I said before it all changes year to year, but I buy little to little every year, and really do not spend a lot of money! Sometimes we tend to think because it Christmas we have to use all we have, and I disagree go with what moves you that year, and change it up the next!
These are just a few of the decorations going on around here...stay tuned for more!
