DeCoRaTiNG FoR ThE HoLiDaYS 2013

 
Getting ready for Thanksgiving!
 
 
I've wanted a large ceramic Turkey to put out for Thanksgiving
for years and was so happy to find this beautiful white
one at a estate sale for only $3!!  Centered in a gold metallic
wreath surrounded by gold pumpkins made it even more
wonderful.
 
 
Mom bought this wonderful metal vintage carrier at a sale.
I thought it made a great, rustic centerpiece filled with
candles, leaves and pieces from nature.
 
 
Small grapevine wreaths tied with white & gold
ribbon on the backs of dining room chairs
made a sweet holiday touch!
 
 
And then it's time for Christmas!
 
 
So inexpensive to pick up great Christmas decorations
at estate sales all year!  These look great on my
shelf above the doorway!
 
 
 
Love these nice brass deer and extra large
ornaments picked up for practically nothing!
 
 
The large laundry basket this small tree sits in
is from the 1920's.  Purchased at an estate sale
for only $15!   After Christmas it will look lovely
holding our winter blankets.
