We normally put up Christmas decorations at the end of November each year but since my artistic daughter is not around to help, I persuaded my son to bring down some of those decorations we have accumulated over the years. Every year, we buy something new, a trinket here and there, new colors of Christmas balls depending on the color theme that we want to achieve. This time though, I want to recycle some decor that we seldom use. My morning was filled with memories of Christmas past.
Yesterday, I found these lovely wooden carts made of bamboo and rattan and I thought they would be perfect for those old decorations we have. There’s nothing like giving a new face to old things 🙂
Does it look like it was recycled? Except for the wooden cart, everything is old.
We have these flowers two years ago when we decided to have the old green and red motif for our Christmas tree.
It’s all red. I wonder where the other decor got to. I could not even find Christmas lights.
And this is an old jar which I used for candies at Christmas time. I am giving it a new look too.
The final touch of that small vase I had earlier. I think it deserves a place along with my other Christmas decorations.
This is an all time favorite decor – a musical waterglobe with revolving outer globe by Kirkland, a regular fixture during Christmas for the last ten years or so.
Just a friendly tip, don’t throw away the original boxes of your Christmas decorations, they are easier to organize and keep after the holidays are gone. Even those nice shoe boxes and plastic biscuit tins come in handy for those small and delicate decor. Label the boxes for easy storing and identification.
