Will keep looking there, for sure. I will be investing in some garland - I just realized how great it would look above the kitchen cabinets. : ) Enjoy all your decorating endeavors!Kensyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848883386696943914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671734723923845480.post-30339863616116226062010-11-28T13:49:06.128-06:002010-11-28T13:49:06.128-06:00For lights, you might want to consider starting wi...For lights, you might want to consider starting with LED ones. They're a bit more expensive, but much cheaper to run! Start small & add a bit each year! Michael's has a three pack of small trees for $15. It might be fun to have more than one - a music one, a cat one, a traditional one, comes to mind when I think of you. :) I could see a beautiful pre-lit garland hanging on the porch rail. Only buy things you love & you will enjoy them for a long time. I've seen solar powered path markers @ Ace for $3 each - those might be fun by the sidewalk in "front" or by the porch in the back. Lowe's (and most everywhere) has the battery operated candles you can place in the windows. Those are easy to dress up on a table w/greenery & pinecones (I KNOW you have some of those on the property!) Gotta go - we're hanging lights now. . .

Maybe if someone is heading north i could send some along! in any case...have FUN with it!Lilliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671734723923845480.post-46611657343766217212010-11-27T23:36:24.161-06:002010-11-27T23:36:24.161-06:00I feel like a tree or two would make it feel very ...I feel like a tree or two would make it feel very Christmas-y. :) Maybe a nativity with some garland and lights too...I could go on and on (as you could probably guess) but those are just some of my most favorites.Heathernoreply@blogger.com
