LIL MISS ASKED ME TO GO SHOPPING WITH HER as she had CHRISTMAS shopping to do for her family. We went to JO-ANN, JIMMY JOHNS for lunch, TARGET and WALMART. Great fun and conversation. Time flew and when returning HOME, my daughter was there with Mister C visiting with Hubby.
Nice to see them.
While shopping, I bought some CHRISTMAS towels at JO-ANN, a cafe rod for hanging greenery in the window and miniature glass CHRISTMAS TREES from TARGET to sit on the window ledge plus Starbuck's green tea and plastic shoe boxes from WALMART.
When I was at TARGET, I was looking for more miniature white CHRISTMAS TREES like I bought last year which they did not have. Instead they had different colored glass ones, wood and ceramic so I purchased some for CHRISTMAS CHEER on the window ledges.
An affordable way to decorate. Easy, pretty and very affordable at a dollar a tree.
THESE SMALL TREES can remain on the window ledge even after CHRISTMAS has passed. January and February. I'll store them altogether in a shoebox and place on a storage shelf.
With such limited decorating space, the window ledge will be used for SEASONAL CHEER. This will be fun for me to look at as I hand wash dishes and other eating utensils.
I plan on hanging some cafe rods and decorating with greenery in the windows before CHRISTMAS gets here. After the HOLIDAY SEASON, I will use the rods for valances. Giving that some thought as to what printed design will be in the valance. A small touch can add a great deal of enjoyment. AINT DAT SPECIAL???
As CHRISTMAS nears, I am needing to get into the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT of things and think about our beautiful gift, the earthly birth of the LORD JESUS. OUR REDEEMER. The light of the world. The Savior. A Savior that you can have a real relationship with through the Holy Spirit by being born again.
