AFTER CHIRSTMAS SALES!

For those of you that live in the real world, you may not usually think of places like Pottery Barn to be a location where you can get a deal that agrees with your wallet.




But oh contraire! Catch them at the right time, like AFTER CHRISTMAS, and you can load up on amazing quality items for a fraction of the original price. Check out a few of their beautiful ornaments, some going as low as $1.99.

Buy and store them with the rest of your Christmas stuff in that attic (or where ever you chose to hide it through the year) and next year you will be the bell of the ball..... OR AT LEAST YOUR TREE WILL BE!

Have Fun People!

Rosemary Christmas Wreath


Fresh from your own garden!

Fabulous smell and looks beautiful.

Frugal because I didn’t spend a dime!

I know I should have tried harder to post this sooner, but better late than never!

I’ve never done this before, but I got it in my head that I could make a wreath for the holiday season…and low and behold, here it is!

My yard is filled with rosemary bushes, which are extremely hardy by the way for those of you with a NOT SO GREEN THUMB. When you let the rosemary grow on its own without cutting it back too much, it will eventually bloom tiny blue flowers…very cute! But I digress. Anyway, I gathered rosemary branches from my garden, tied them together with garden wire that I already had lying around, and then bent it into a circle. My five-year-old son, contributed by picking lavender, white miniature roses, and red Japanese maple leaves from our garden that we inserted, into the wreath.

Walla!

100% organic wreath that smells AWESOME!

Anyone can do this…believe me!!! Add whatever you want from your own garden. I’m sure it will be beautiful. A dear friend of mine told me that ART is never wrong. Go create your own organic art…it could be a great gift for a friend or a beautiful decoration for your house.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
