Having Some Decorating Fun

I had seen something I thought would be cute for a decoration other than what they showed it for. So after Tracy and I went to breakfast we headed for Kirkland's. We were so surprised that not much stuff was left and the sales were really good but I had my heart set on what should have been one of Santa's booted legs. Nope all gone as we walked along we spotted what was supposed be his red pants with both legs. I called Tracy over and talked about what my idea was we agreed it could work and even better than my original idea. So we grabbed them and just picked up some battery tea light candles and just one ornament. I saved $9. on my purchases and off we set for home as things started getting very busy.

After arriving home we set to stuffing the legs to make them more rigid. It worked and we had a good laugh. 

I found the little log set in a gift magazine years ago. Of course it took 3 deliveries to get one that wasn't broken. Flicker battery tea lights are used for the flames

Santa went down the wrong way!

I had spotted a really pretty center piece in Kirkland's a couple weeks ago but the price was really high, so as we strolled around the store Tracy spotted this little wooden box and the wheels started turning, I spotted a bag of pine cones in different sizes and grabbed it and the plaid deer was meant for the tree but he looked cute right there. A couple of days later I was in Family Dollar and found these gold, red and green apples and stuck them in there to brighten it up. This rain deer needs fixing 

I usually put a tiny village here on the hutch but this year I wanted to change things up and this is the change. My granddaughter and her family had given me the porcelain train one year and it was part of the large village, but I did not let this go with the sale of the village

I pulled the garland out from the shed and draped it on top. I found these tiny little lights on thin copper wire at the grocery store and stuck them to the garland.

We also did a few more decorations out front but that will be the next post as I may put a few more things out.


Good Night All
