Found a few things this year for use next year, at our new HOUSE!
We have stockings for each other (and one for Hobart) and we always exchange gifts of course but when I saw these, I thought they were too cute to pass up.
They are large, nylon Santa bags that seal up with a drawstring. I figured they might help us start a new tradition. We put small things in the stockings, and gifts are wrapped under the tree, so I'm not sure what we tradition we could start with these Santa bags, but we'll each have one and it'll be fun.
They were $1.25 each, down from $7.99. Deal!
And then, between a few different stores, I found some new "farm themed" ornaments, all at 75% or more off. A couple of barns, some old trucks (no white ones this year but we do have a couple already), complimentary design/color decor and I even found a cute little fuzzy fawn, similar to the ones we see on our property from time to time. I spent less than $10 on everyting.
We will use these, in conjunction with others we already have, to put on this:
The white tree we found downstairs a couple of years ago! We knew it would come in handy and with our new house for next Christmas, there will be a tree in every room! Well, ok, maybe not EVERY room, but we will have one in the living room (a BIG one), one in the kitchen/dining room, one in the study, one in the screened in porch and one in our bedroom. Not sure which room this one will go in but it'll be fun!
One of my sisters had a remodeled Victorian house. She put up seven trees every Christmas. Each one had a theme and they were beautiful. I say put up as many trees as you want. Enjoy your new home for all it's worth when it's done.

Go 4 it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was quite a few years younger I had a tree or (2 in dining area) every room of the house , including the bathrooms, but used much smaller trees that I sat on the counter, on top of the toilet tank or sitting on a small shelf; used small (fairy like) battery lights for the bathroom trees. Just a couple of years ago, I had found as rustic looking colander and done with a small tree inside with small fake wrapped packages which sat on my kitchen island or used as center piece for my table.
Along with the trees, I also had a wreath or large bows or something hanging on each and every inside door.
The outside of the house was also decorated as well with many lights.
Like Janie mentioned; "I say put up as many trees as you want. Enjoy your new home for all it's worth when it's done."
Come next year; Enjoy decorating your new home. When finished you both can take a step back, take a long look, and say; 'We Done It Our Way!'
Enjoy your day, have a great evening and enjoy the rest of the week.
New Year's Blessing:
A chance to start anew. A chance for you both to pursue the goals that you set
and recognize the goals that you met.
May the New Year be filled with blessings, good health and much love.
You found some really great Christmas decorations. New decorations for a new house! Next Christmas, y’all will have do much fun decorating!
ReplyDeleteI have 3 trees currently, a main one, one in my bedroom with my children's ornaments and a small one on my kitchen table that has fruit ornaments on it. I'd have more if I could. You have fun next year and decorate to your wildest desires. L - Janie V
