Our Hopeful Home: truck ornament

While reading the Sunday paper this past weekend I came across an ad for the cutest little red vintage-style pickup truck ornament at Target. I made a mental note to stop in there during the week and pick one up. Later that night I saw that a Facebook friend {Sharon from Homeroad} had already done just that, and by the comments her post was generating it looked like those little gems were in high demand. SOoooo, of course I had to high tail it there yesterday and was lucky enough to pick one, er, two up -- and lucky for me because they were the last of the bunch.

Did I mention they were $2.50 a piece?

I had already decided that I was going to find my son's bright red pickup truck and decorate it for Christmas this year, and I still intend on doing that. But for now I was so thrilled with these that I actually started my Christmas decorating early so I could share some shots with you!

Don't you just love the faux snow? I think it adds just the right touch.

And of course I had to throw in some glitter. This "joy" ornament was a dollar store find last Christmas. They came a few to a package so you'll be seeing more of them in future posts, I'm sure.

I set the whole vignette up on a silver tray for mobility, so I can move it around the house until I find just the right spot for it.

I'm really liking the look with my burlap tablecloth and thick red-striped burlap ribbon.

And I'm always thankful this time of year that we have so many evergreens to choose from on our property for Christmas decorating. The smell of fresh greens really can be intoxicating! I just added some of my own faux snow to them.

I have some small bottle brush trees I'd like to use, too. Once I ~~unearth~~ find them I will use them in my son's truck and take some more shots to share.

Until then, thanks for stopping by!
