Baskets, Boughs, and Berries

Some outdoor decorating ideas:

I love this Merry Christmas sign added to 

 table, wagon, box or shelf

with greenery, berries, lights and 

red-twig dogwood. The vine balls are 

wonderful or you could use pinecones. 

 If you have a galvanized pailor a crock, you could just

plunk this bundle into it and set it on your porch

or the steps going up to your front door.

Adding battery operated lighted twigs would

be a warm and wonderful greeting!

*You could also take them apart and spread

into a window box!*

 This is actually an authentic (salvaged) tobacco

stick star. (tobacco sticks were used to hang tobacco

to dry from in the south. It is very large,

around three feet! (Pardon the leaves, it is

blustery here today!!!)

 A small twig star with boughs and berries.

You could also add battery-operated light

strand to this too. Lean it against a crock

or hang it on your door, or rest it on a 

window sill. :)

 A small mustard birdhouse looks striking

nestled in with spruce and dogwood. 

Find an old crate or wagon or how about

an old wash tub? Fill it with greenery, and 

berries, pinecones, then add lights and a 

birdhouse! 

Another mustard birdhouse...and 

I adore cardinals in the snow!!!

A burlap sack with a brick in the bottom

filled with greens, berries, add twinkling lights

inside and pop in a mustard star!

Winterberry and Doe on the Go!

This weekend is opening deer hunting. The slogan goes like this: "when the buck is away and the doe goes shopping"! It seems to be the time that people start to think about or actually START decorating for Christmas. It is my biggest day of the year. FULL of female energy, I just LOVE it!...often times I don't look up much from the cash register and at the end of the day I wonder who came through!!! There isn't many things dearer to my heart than a room full of joyful women!!!

Today was around 50 degrees and sunny. PERFECT for the bough-bundling that I did! I love floral design and love to put together boquets of boughs and dogwood twigs and whatever berries I have managed to find. This year the rosehips were scarce, but the winterberries were plentiful. I have actually never seen them in so many places. In fact after someone found out where I got mine the first year I was open, they have not come back. :(

I try to cut sparingly when I cut so as not to kill or diminish the plant for next year! If you find winterberries in the wild, please be careful! They are a most-beautiful decorating addition for Christmas! I will post pics tomorrow. It gets dark so fast that I didn't get a chance to take them today.

Here are a few photos of the new merchandise that I have been getting in. { I also have restocked my candles, potpourri, refresher oils and MORE!!!}

Votive-holder trio.

 New tart melters!!!

 NEW!!!!! Reed diffusers. I love them!!!

 Night light...

 Little framed item.

 Many snowmen :)

 Braid coasters.

JEWELRY!!!!

 May you find Christmas HAPPINESS as you walk through this season of JOY!!! Hope to see you at the FARM!!!
