MY "MERCURY GLASS" INSPIRED CHRISTMAS THEME..GETTING READY WITH A BIT OF MOJO!!~~



Hi ladies, well i figured I really needed to get a bit of a move on re some Christmas theme/decor for my kitchen table...

I host a CHRISTMAS EVE function with about 15 lovely guests..

And as I have been "SO NOT INTO XMAS" up until today....
I am NOW motivated..

SO the theme for my kitchen is "mercury glass"/silver etc inspired..

Soo working on lots of it today...FROM.....

a gorgeous little star garland scattered around my Baker's stand..

(I MUST SAY i do have a wonderful time at those kind of $2.00/reject shops..)...

I purchased 3 x glass carafes...(reject shop buys at $2.50 each)..
Filled them with little mixed silver baubles...($5.00 pack of 12 from coles)..
tied some ribbon/faux glass string around rim..(reject shop buys)..
BIG star garland...$5.00 Coles...
BIG SILVER bauble WREATH...$20.00 COLES...
faux mercury glass candle holders...x 3...about $2.50 EACH...Reject shop...

filled another with my silver string of "stuff" i had already..

filled another glass jar with silver tinsel.........
(which i hate...but looks okay STUFFED into a glass jar??)..

Tied a nice little white star to my silver serviette holder complete with silver/white serviettes...

serviette holder....$5.00 (reject shop)...
serviettes pack of 12 from Coles..

So a lot of what I have done today...

embellishing/decorating ALL comes from the REJECT/CHEAP/$2.00 type shop & COLES..~~!!

mixed with SOME of my own leftover Xmas goodies through the years!!~~

Not long until Christmas ....

NOW i have to get my MOJO to buy pressies!!~~

Hi Andrea

Looking good!

I'm not into decorating yet, I hope I find my MOJO very soon!

No kids at home now and no Christmas Dinner at our place this year, maybe I'll not bother decorating at all...?

Have a good day

Oh I do love silver. Your decorations are certainly getting me in the mood too.
I have to go to Coles on the way home and grab one of those serviette holders. Love the idea and the Reject shop and $2 shops are my favourite haunts too.

I'll have to come shop with you one day!

Looks fabulous Andrea.
Great combo of things
With Amy's baby being born on Thursday I just hadn't had time to do anything. As the family were all coming to our place Sunday for a BBQ dinner to welcome Michael home from 1 months army training and welcoming sweet Holly to our family I thought I better throw the christmas tree together. The little ones loved it and always look for the bauble with their name on it.
They also have a reindeer with their name on it stuck in the hedge that lines the path to our front door.
