AFTER FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE NEW POTTERY BARN HOLIDAY CATALOG I WAS ON THE HUNT FOR CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES FOR SOME OF THE ITEMS I LOVED. THE ORNAMENTS I LIKED WERE A SET OF 6 2" MERCURY BALLS FOR $29.50.
I DID A LITTLE THRIFTING TODAY TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS... YUP, I SAID CHRISTMAS. AS SOON AS THRIFT STORE SHELVES START FILLING WITH XMAS STUFF I START BUYING IT. SEEMS EVERY YEAR ITS EARLIER AND EARLIER. I DONT PUT IT OUT UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING FOR THOSE OF YOU THINKING IM NUTS.
I STRUCK GOLD ON GLASS BULBS! HERES JUST SOME OF THE ORNAMENTS I FOUND.
A CLOSE UP OF THE BULBS SHOW THE CRACKLE AND SPOTTINESS.
LOVE THE WEAR ON THE SILVER... THE TURQUOIS ONES ARE PRETTY
THE RED ONES ARE MY FAVORITE BECAUSE THE CRACKLE REALLY SHOWS
SOFT SILVERY GOLD
I ENDED UP WITH 68 ORNAMENTS AND SPENT $25.00
4 DIFFERENT COLORS, 5 DIFFERENT SIZES
IF YOU DO THE MATH THE P.B. ORNAMENTS ARE ABOUT $5 EACH
AND MINE ARE ABOUT $.40 EACH
I WOULD SAY THATS PRETTY GOOD SAVINGS!
