Yesterday I talked about an idea I got from
www.thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com. I wanted to show a better photo of it. Each letter of HOME is in its own frame and then I have a tag that I made from the same scrapbook paper that say's 'for Christmas' (Remember our homes theme song for the Christmas home tour).
I also wanted to show you our banister. This is one of Bill's favorite things that I do in the home. This is actually layers of garland, lights, hydrangeas, ribbon, stockings and bows. I have 3 substantial garlands with different floral elements that I got at Hobby Lobby on clearance 2 years ago. Well, I didn't buy enough to go down the entire banister railing. Therefore, I combined it with plain pine garland I already had. The beautiful garland is simply centered and worked into the plain. I then add lights and ribbon. Each stopping point has a bow and stocking. These fancy stockings I got at the dollar store. 
Speaking of the dollar store, I think it is now called the Dollar Tree officially. However, I got there before Thanksgiving and was amazed at some of the things I got! Ribbon, floral picks, jingle bells, and satin stockings. They certainly were good items to simply compliment some key areas.
O.K., I'm off. I need to make dinner and get ready for our Christmas Eve festivities. Merry Christmas!
I am not sure if it is my monitor, but the "HOME" pictures look they are cross stitched. What kind of paper did you use? The dollar store has great finds for all seasons to add those little touches, you just have to get there when they have them! Good to check everywhere at the after Christmas sales for those good deals for next year!
