White and sparkling. That’s the theme this year. Didn’t put out a lot of my vintage collected ornaments. I wanted to try a new look. Hope you love it too.

Anyone who knows me or who has followed my blog has heard me say I rarely buy anything full price. I love flea markets, thrift store, consignment stores, popular discount stores and the dollar store! OK, two words “dollar store” may be scary. I recently discovered how great it is when I was shopping for staging. And now, during the Christmas season, I’ll show you the ornaments I found for my tree.                                                                                                                                                   

Need extra dishes for a party or a big family dinner? Dollar store.

Photos from around my house this year will appear here and on my Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/uncommoncottages/

I’m in the process of doing tabletop shots. Part decorating, holiday decorating. I love doing it. If you need help or know someone who does, let me know. Check my next post!
