A Christmas Vignette…With Thrifty Finds


Today, I did a quick Christmas vignette in the kitchen after I cleaned off my counters!  I left the counters almost bare since we will be decorating for Christmas on Friday.  They looked really sad and lonely, so I used some things that Alex picked up for me last week to bring some early Christmas cheer.

The tiny shepherd and animals are from a thrift store
The set  has everything except baby jesus!
Maybe, that was the reason it was only $1.00!!!!
All of the decorations from Alex came from
Wal-Mart and only cost  $.97 - $1.97 each.
Now, that’s a deal if I have ever seen one!

  2. How cute is that! Love the glittery backdrop AND the brush trees! I have 2 or 3 nativity sets and they are ALL missing baby Jesus! What's up with that? xo Diana

  3. Great little display to get you in the mood, Rhonda! I wait until Black Friday to decorate as well. It works out because I do not leave the house that day. I made a mistake one year of just wanting to run to the grocery store and I got stuck in mall traffic! Never again! I get all my Christmas stuff out and figure out what's going where. This year should be fun because I'm starting fresh!

  7. Love this Rhonda. I so love bottle brush trees and have them tucked into many nooks and crannies at my house! Alex did good :)
