A patched together lifestyle of thrift and charm...

Ordinary Objects Become Christmas Decor...


If you follow my Etsy shop or Facebook page - this post may be a repeat.   
But wanted to show you some fun I am having taking 
ordinary finds and transforming them into Christmas decor.  
It's a delightful Thrifty Thursday idea as well.  
Sometimes my Thrifty Thursday tips are on my FB page only - so don't miss them!  
Let's begin...


Boxes of all types make great Christmas display pieces.  
Think crates, baskets, old store boxes, etc.  This one is a tackle box...
 in rusty red.  So why not?  Just add greens and other Christmas goodies...

Tackle Box available here

Horns and antlers are fun to use too.  If they're already on your wall - 
hang ornaments or wreaths from them.  
If they're loose - add them to a bowl arrangement...
These spike antlers are available here

Old baby shoes are perfect to fill with sprigs of greenery.  
You could fill adult shoes too - but somehow they don't seem as cute.  (smile)...
These baby blues are available here

Both baby and adult socks can work for Christmas.  It just depends on their 'look'.  
Here - I've used all white toddler socks and created a garland on a ladder...
These very socks & more are available here
 And houseplants aren't necessarily 'Christmas'.  
But add some twinkle lights and garland...

...or put a Christmas decor piece in their midst - and you're good to go!

Stay tuned for more 'ordinary objects' ideas in the days ahead.

What a fun time of year.  So thankful to know the One came 
to earth so long ago - for me and for you...  ~Joyce
