Our decorating is done and I’m planning on just enjoying the next two weeks. I bought an ivory colored candle with the timer at Gretel’s in Lafayette, IN. I love it and plan on getting a couple of more.

Love the window! I’ll have to check out the shop in Fulton! Since our house is in the middle some remodelling so minimal decorating this year. We are heading to the family farm this weekend to decorate the new house for Christmas for the first time. This should be exciting, since other family members have sent items for us to use and we are taking some of our own.

I make “Board Trees” for gifts. They are great for a dark corner or to put on a porch. I have three to deliver this weekend.

BOARD TREE

1 – pine board (5′ X 6″)
Green paint (dark like garland)
1 – garland
100 count Christmas light (small twinkles)
1 – thick board with slit groove to hold the tree

Cut the top of the board to resemble a tree top ( ^ ). Sand the board to remove the rough edges. Paint green on all sides. Unfold the garland and fluff it out.

Starting at the top staple the garland in place. Take the garland down the board stapling in place to hold the garland on the board. String the lights from the top to the bottom once the garland is in place.

Place tree in the holder and plug in the lights. Viola!

My husband and I moved into our house on December 21, 1996. I remember telling him if I couldn’t even figure out which box my underwear was in, there would be no chance of me doing any decorating for Christmas. The next morning, I bought a little 24″ tabletop tree at a discount store. It had colored lights, some gold beaded garland and cute little wooden ornaments. It was our Christmas tree that first year in this house. When my mother saw it, she went out and bought one for herself – this one having little apples and bells for ornaments. Three years later, she passed away, and I got all the ornaments which I packed up in big Rubbermaid containers with stuff I didn’t often use. I forgot about it all until yesterday when I decided to go on a treasure hunt and found those two trees. It didn’t take me long to have them set up – one on the cedar chest in our bedroom, one on the kitchen table. My husband, who is a fan of the dreaded colored lights, adores them. I adore them too, for now he can’t complain about my using only white lights on the “official” tree.

I love your window frame. That would be such fun to decorate all through the year.

Actually that would be Napco, not Norco, if anyone is interested in checking them out.

I’d like more info on those candles!

I haven’t found any old items to add to my decorations, but I do have 2 ceramic angels that were my grandmother’s. She used to work in a florist’s shop and I think that’s where she got them. I asked my mom if I could have them before she passed away a couple of years ago. They have coats on with hoods (one red and one white) and are holding wreaths and packages. I think they’re Norco? I’ve seen them on eBay-some identical and some similar.
