I must say: I’ve been having a great go at thifting blown glass ornaments this year.
I’ve picked up some great random ornaments: a TV, popcorn, beer set; a pink dragon start the list.
I use the blown glass ornaments to define break-away themes for trees through the house, whether by color or subject. Current plans this year are just ST:TCT and the big tree in the front room. That means the big tree will be absolutely dripping with holiday bling.
Thirfting and post-holiday sales help me dress excessive trees on a smaller budget. Plus, I’m helping to reduce waste by giving these gorgeous things a new life in a new home.
Also, point blank: Christmas decorations make me feel better. This is a good year for embracing such things. Some thrift stores put out ornaments year round as well, which let’s trimming the tree feel like Christmas day as I unwrap who knows how many new-to-me ornaments I barely recall…
It’s Janus Claus! One sides “sees you when you’re sleeping,” the other “knows when you’re awake.”
I’d like it better if the other face were Krampus!
LOL! Now THAT would be funny!
Fabulous finds for sure! 🙂
