My New Rock Garden:
Handmade Stepping Stones:
Candle Gift:
Candle Centerpiece:
I found the candle idea in a decorating magazine somewhere. The article suggested buying inexpensive religious candles (found in the ethnic section at the local grocery store) and covering with paper, ribbon or twine, and a sprig of greenery. I think I might do a large collection of these candles covered in whites, neutrals, and greens for the top of my piano in January.
Also, cranberries are a favorite decorating element of mine in the month of December. Filling any glass container (vase, bowl, pitcher, etc.) with the red berries creates an instant festive focal point.
Russ and I created the poetry stepping stones using this kit from Magnetic Poetry:
I’m thinking of using a large collection of inspirational words to create a one-of-a-kind pathway to our front door. Won’t Russ be thrilled?
