Last night we took a family trip to get new shatterproof ornaments and some more Christmas decor to outfit our first home for the season. When our shopping spree ended we came home with outdoor lights, around 75 new ornaments, a tree topper (we never had one!), some red ribbon and 5 wreaths to go up our banister.
We knew we didn't have time to get the tree up, but we couldn't wait to hang the wreaths. Chris hammered 5 small finishing nails into the crease on the banister and we had them all hung within 20 minutes:
At just $2.48 a wreath, plus $2.44 for a spool of red sparkly ribbon at Walmart--these trimmings came nowhere near breaking the bank. For less than $15, we have officially started decking the halls over here.
What do you think?

We typically wait until the day after Thanksgiving (post black Friday shopping of course) to bring up all the Christmas stuff and start decorating but seeing all these wreaths make me really excited!
Really cute idea!!
I love how clean it looks. Such a nice touch, I can't wait to see how you decorate a tree! Pinworthy.
ummmm I maaaay just copy you. Those look fabulous!!!!!
I love this idea! So simple, but very pretty and festive!
Yep! Walmart. They are the "20 inch Basic Wreath." Maybe someday down the road, we can afford something more shmancy. It seems we're ALL living through someone. ;)
Okay. These look great. Are they from Walmart? I wish we were in our own house so that I could grab some of these lovelies. Can't wait to see the tree. Keep it up! I'm living through you!
Looks lovely!
