Warmest Holiday Greetings!
There are only 13 days till Christmas Eve! YIKES!!! I am making a centerpiece from some things I purchased at my favorite thrift! The swan is just gorgeous and she cost a whole $3! She is made of ceramic and has peeling paint in black, white and a great sorta bronze color. The guy who runs the store was glad to get rid of her which I can't understand because I think she is beautiful.
Then I found these vintage ornaments the other day and the box said 25 cents, which is very unusual because the thrift-store-vintage-style is big around here and you have to pay what something is worth on ebay normally.
The last part of my project is this grapevine wreath which we sell at our store for $7. These are the main players in my centerpiece and now for the "embellishments"
These are the things I am using to create my centerpiece. Martha's Glitter Assortment, a bit pricey but worth it, some spray-paint, some glue, paper roses, ribbons, dried flowers, pine-cones and maybe a bit of something from my Christmases past.
I will be finishing up later so stay tuned for the great unveiling! May all your days till Christmas be filled with His Light!
Blessings, Meg

Ohmigosh Meg, I LOVE that swan!! I think it was meant to be for you to adopt her and bring her home. She's GORGEOUS! She just needs a little lovin! I hope you show pics when you're finished with her and I really can't wait to see the wreath! I really stink at arranging botanicals especially when it comes to ribbons etc. It's sad!
Have a blessed weekend!
