Merry Evergreen!

I was at Lowe's & picked up a fresh Evergreen Wreath. I saw a cute idea on Pinterest for an Arrangement & had to make one! I was able to pull the wreath apart with enough Evergreen to do both!

Christmas Table

I wasn't feeling much in the Christmas Spirit until I slowed down long enough to reflect on what the true meaning of the season is about...the true gift...Jesus! And I began decorating the Christmas table. I wanted to make it extra special for my family & our Christmas meal together.

This is my Dollar Store Christmas table. I call it that because just about everything on it came from the Dollar Store(Dollar Tree, Dollar King)...Plates, placemats, goblets, napkins, Candles, Candle holders, etc..with the exception of the glass vase, greenery, ribbon & candy. I love the Dollar store! I love to find pretty stuff for cheap! Who doesn't?

Isn't this little Bird Cute? & I love the Moss Ribbon, which I ended up using to place the candle holders on.

I found this little Rooster at Dollar Tree, too. He didn't make the Christmas table...But I have different table plans for him, later in the year!

Okay, don't laugh, but I found my napkins in the automotive section! A 6 pack of glass cleaning rags(for a buck), with a ribbon & some Jingle Bells slapped on em! It works, wouldn't you say?! Elegant!

Oh, Poinsettia!

I made a trip to Ellison's Greenhouse while visiting my In-Laws in Brenham, TX this weekend. Specializing in Easter Lilies, Hydrangeas and Poinsettias, you could spend hours here exploring the vast Flora.

Tis the season to pick out a Poinsettia...

or two...

or hundred...

It's so hard to choose...

The friendly worker asked if I'd made it to the tomato greenhouse yet. Why, no, I haven't, So I think I'll just mosey on over there and come back to make my decision...

Wow! Get a load of these mater plants! Texas-Sized! I sure wish it was planting time!

After wandering through 32 Acres & Lord knows how many greenhouses, this was the one! My most fave. It kept saying, "Pick me" "Pick me!"

Well, Okay.

This place is a real treasure! And a gardener's dream! Hope you're having a great weekend on the Gardenfront!
