This Christmas I've chosen to simplify things. And by that I mean
incorporating more natural, rustic elements into my Christmas décor. I've always loved decorating with greens, and this year is no different.

Decorating with Moss and Natural Filler
January 27, 2014
Well, my trusty vintage toolbox is at it again!
Some of you might remember when I used it to create a fall farmhouse table centerpiece.
Then I turned it into a lovely Christmas floral centerpiece.
Well, I guess it's time for wishful thinking (can you say S-P-R-I-N-G?) because I've gone and created yet another seasonal vignette. This time with Dollar Store moss rocks and natural vase filler, also from the Dollar Store.
After the farmhouse table shots which were not very well-lit, I took a few more in the much brighter living room.
It's amazing what a little light can do. It really shows off the spectacular greens.
The "rocks" and all the white and natural-colored filler came from the Dollar Store. The mossy balls I picked up at Hobby Lobby with 40% off coupons. I think the large one ended up costing like $3.50, while the smaller two were even cheaper.
.
I also added pine cones that the kids collected from the yard way before the infamous Polar Vortex descended upon the midwest with all it's cold, wind and snow.
I really love how it turned out, it's such a pretty harbinger of spring. And boy, we could definitely use more of that! My kids will be home from school yet again for the next two days due to seriously subzero temperatures. By the time spring rolls around I will be more than happy to be moving on.
Well that's it for today, friends!
I hope you enjoyed reading about

Natural Christmas Styling: Vintage Wooden Tool Box with Fresh Evergreens
December 9, 2013
You don't need to spend a lot of money to create an inviting Christmas vignette. Seriously. I'm so grateful that today's holiday decorating trends have swayed more toward using natural elements rather than store-bought items. Couple that common sense thriftiness with some Dollar Store add-in items and you've got a truly affordable, beautiful Christmas display that you and your family can enjoy throughout the entire holiday season.
