The Holidays




Oh my god I cannot believe it is 2009 already. It seems as though we rush through the holidays so much these days that we don't have the chance to enjoy them. Running a small business in this economy has been challenging and so time consuming that I truly rushed through Christmas and feel a bit guilty about it! Here are a few photos of some of our funky Christmas designs for 2008! Our boot is made of fiberglass and is lighted from within, you just plug it in! Will last for years to come. My holiday shoe I make of all fresh evergreens and add a battery operated light to it and place them going up my steps to my front door instead of the traditional wreath! My table centerpiece were my evergreen spheres on an aged tin tray with square candles. Again, a very easy and inexpensive way to decorate your table. Take styrofoam balls and spray it with spray glue. The cut up cedar evergreen and start layering in the ball. once you have the ball covered completely you then wrap the entire ball in very thin copper wire to hold the greens tight. Mist them once a day to keep fresh. You can also hang them outside on the porch!!! Hope your holidays were bright and cherry and let's all think positive thoughts going into 2009!!!!
