Christmas In July - "The Bargain/Vintage Queen"

Today, I am going to share Jonell's Christmas in July post - "What do I love more, Bargains or Vintage?"  as a preface to my post tomorrow.  I can't wait to show you all the Christmas items I've found while garage sale shopping, thrift store shopping, and freebies.... You can decorate on the cheap - don't spend a lot of money in a department store - you'll have cookie cutter decorations!  Get creative, make it or find it!!

Merry Christmas in July!
-Heather

"Like Gramma's House":
I always find a place to use naturals even as ordinary as PINE CONES
unfinished, sprayed/glittered,large or small-The Green Christmas Tree
Candles came from Cracker Barrel about 5 yrs ago..Yes, you guessed
it..January 1/2 price sale. They are such perfection I am torn between
lighting them and not. OOPS I almost forgot - If you absolutely love the
"little people" now is the time to start hitting the antique, flea mkts,.etc
to find them. I try to add a few really Vintage if not antique ornaments
or other distinctive decorations every year..

  1. UH OH...Butinsky here--I have to remind you DON'T OVERLOOK the WEATHERED OLD FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WINDOW IN THE BACKGROUND. lol Yes it had panes and I asked 'him' to remove three of them for hanging ornaments.Sorrrrrrrrry I just can't "leave things alone"..have to take off, tear up or change it. For me..it needs to look like IT'S HAD A LIFE.
    How do i come up with FREEE/ let me count the ways: Once long ago Heather's Mom GAVE ME a truckload YES A TRUCKLOAD OF OLD WINDOWS..
