I’ll have a Stack of Wreaths, Please

December 8, 2009 at 4:45 pm by Claudia


Bottlebrush anything for Christmas and I’m there. Look what I found today! Several weeks ago, Dawn of The Gahan Girls wrote about finding these wreaths at Big Lots. Today I happened to drive by the one Big Lots I know of around here, so I ran into the store. After much scrounging around, I found a total of 4 of these (all in different display areas, I might add.) I really thought there was very little hope there would still be some available. I think I snagged the last 4. Aren’t they pretty?

I bought some more ribbon and I’m going to hang them in the kitchen and living room windows. Love, love them!

We will be trekking out to get the Christmas tree either Wednesday or Thursday. Thursday is the deadline, as I told my husband earlier today.

Have a great day.

    Oh I do love these!! I found some, what I thought were, bottle brush trees at Big Lots last month but when I went to bleach them they stayed green. Such a disappointment!
    I will have to look for these wreaths when I go back to the big city later this week!

    Love these!!! Happy, happy, happy for you, Claudia!

    It looks like you are going to beat me to getting a tree up. If I put mine up too soon, the woodstove will have the needles on the floor before I can decorate it!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
