IT'S ALL ABOUT WREATHS................( affordable ones )

I bought the above wreath (12 of them actually ) at the dollar store !!!
3.00 each - they come in silver - gold - green or red.............because the front door is red I chose a gold to put on it - same style - with red bells - but I ended up putting it in the house because it didn't feel right............
All the red ones are in the process of being hung on outdoor windows.

I bought the bells separately - they were 1.50 each and fill it perfectly -
Hold on a sec.........I gotta figure out what they all cost..........
WOW !  36.00 dollars for the wreaths themselves - TWELVE OF THEM !
( you know you need sleep when you have to use the calculator to figure that out - I don't know what's happening to me - brain freeze I suppose )
As you can see they're just tinsel - ( I've got a way to hang them securely so they don't blow all over the place )  but I like the bling and I really didn't want to spend 60.00 per wreath !
Thought I'd share with you in case YOU didn't want to spend 60.00 per wreath either :)
These could so easily be a DIY with a wreath form ( or hanger ) and tinsel !

Have a great one everybody!
Hugs,
me

CHRISTMAS cages !

I used these  " birdcage tea light holders " in the summer in our sitting area in the back yard.
John was putting the last of the outdoor things away yesterday - so I grabbed them before they were buried in the shed

and thought I would Christmasify them using left over bits and pieces of garland that has seen much better days.............in fact they were in a " trash " pile

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas................

I decided to decorate a little earlier this year and take advantage of the warmer weather...........usually I'm working out there when my fingers are so numb and cold they're threatening to fall off

John says - This is ridiculous Suzan - it's November - no one else on the street has their decorations up
Suzan says - I know - but I can't do it the cold anymore - unless maybe this year you think you could do it?
John says - Well.......I suppose it's not that early.

There's nothing like getting John to see my way of thinking like asking him to do something.

When everyone else is out there battling the fierce winds and biting cold and blizzards - I'll just tsk tsk and open a switch !  ( although those weather forecasts seems to be starting later and later in the year - last year in December - Montreal looked like Texas )  but if it happens ............................I'm ready !

And the decor is crying out for a light dusting of snow all over them

I bought that plant at Home Depot............2 of them actually so that Christmas tree on the right side will be moved - it doesn't look " right " and I'll put the second plant in it's place.
I may even stick battery operated tea lights in the cages ( the ones with a remote )

Did I mention I'm in flip flops?

Ok - excuse me but I have windows - a lot of them - to hang wreaths on !
And then in December I can sing.............

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the decor is so delightful
And because I did it long ago..............
Let it snow
                Let it snow
                                Let it snow.

Have a wonderful day everyone
Hugs,
Me
