Today I want to share some Christmas items that I have decorated my home with that are from....yard sales. Yard sales and estate sales are a great place to find some really neat Christmas decor. It goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune for nice looking things. Someone else's trash can be your treasure.
I bought this snowman pillow a few years ago. It adorns an antique bench (from my husband's great aunt) in the foyer.
I love snowmenpeople and scatter them here and there throughout the winter season.
I put some epsom salt in this yard sale winter scene candle holder, then added a votive candle.
It sits on top of an antique magazine stand that my Grandma gave me when I was just a little girl.
The snow falling, the snow covered trees, the peaceful scene on the candle holder, paired with a treasure from my Grandma...takes me back. I can almost hear the snow crunching under foot as I walk through the winter wonderland.
I got a great deal on this silver snowman at a yard sale this past summer...it was missing it's nose. Can you tell what I fixed it with? A piece of tin foil! I love how it looks on my Christmas mantle with my other silver and blue decorations.
I purchased this sled many years ago at a yard sale. It has a basket weave and wrought iron. I fill it with real and faux greenery and bulbs.
Next week I will be sharing my Christmas mantel done in blue and silver. I will also be sharing my eating nook...I'm seeing red! Please follow through Blogger or by e-mail, both can be found on the right side bar.
