Now that the hustle & bustle of holiday celebrations has ended, decorations have come down and winter has whole-heartily revealed itself…the rest of the season can seem a tad boring. Many people confess how sad they are when the decorations are gone and their houses suddenly appear empty…I know both Sarah & I feel that way in our own homes! And spending so much time indoors during these long, cold winter days doesn’t help. So I was thinking, why should all the merriment disappear with the the holidays? Why not invite some cheerful whimsy to hang out in your home a bit longer? All it takes is a little holiday recycling! By using some of the decorations from past seasons, the buffet in my dining room is dressed up with some sparkle and cheer! A very easy way to be ready to accommodate guests on a whim with little preparation…and it looks festive too! Fill the evenings of winter with warmth and fellowship of friends…
and keep the good cheer going!
simple, mismatched cordial glasses on a tray look lovely–whether you have guests or not!
treats in decorative jars are as cute as they are tasty!
…and i bet you have some goodies left over from the holidays!
by reusing some sparkly stars and tiny lights-the entire buffet still looks magical…
waiting to offer some good cheer!
simply strung over the mirror…easy!
glitter stickers…fun to use just about anywhere!
a cute & thrifty way to reveal any message!
you know there has to be stripey straws!
whether a space for cocktails, hot cocoa or a colorful candy buffet…
