Thrifty Christmas Mantle

Hi everyone! 

 

If you are a regular reader of my blog then you already know I am living

with my dad after his stroke.  He hasn't decorated for Christmas for years,

normally spending the holiday with family.  This year I wanted to decorate his home and
make it cheerful without breaking the bank.  Our attic in Richmond is full of
 Christmas bins but I didn't want to push my luck by asking Steve to bring some things
here on the plane.

 

The mantle was decorated on a budget by buying the green garland and ribbon from
Michael's on Black Friday when it was 70% off.  I was able to buy a huge box
 of the silver garland at a garage sale for $1.00.   The Steuben vase and candle
belongs to dad.  It is simple and thrifty but still says Christmas Cheer.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you at the Open House party
starting Wednesday evening.

Hugs,
Sherry
