Stress Free Christmas: Of course you want your home to look beautiful for the holidays, but you don’t want to spend lots of money. A great resource for decorating for less is your local thrift store.
Here are a few of my finds for this Christmas season:
A basket and a bag of large cinnamon scented pine cones became a lovely natural centerpiece for my coffee table. (The table runner is actually made from a curtain I found at the thrift store.)
A silver gift box ornament filled with tiny pine cones added just the right accent to my wall mirror (also a thrift store find!).
I found this berry covered wreath and platter, which I combined with a candle I had to make a festive centerpiece for our dining room table.
Of course, you won’t find exactly the items that I found at your store. The point is to look creatively at what is available and use it in a unique way in order to save money and enjoy the season more.
What have you found at the thrift store recently?
Hey Kimberlee, inspired by your blog and blogs like it, this season I found cheap decor at the Dollar Tree, Salvation Army, and Goodwill. Including a $1 small wreath like yours, $1 silk fall leaves, and for about 27 cents each, some Christmas tins and a candle holder, also a pack of small glass bulbs for 50 cents, and a ziploc bag full of gift bows for 47 cents or so. Can’t beat that with a stick!
Woohoo! Way to go Suzanne!
These are GREAT!!! I love thrift store shopping!
Thanks Dawn!
