It's Rudolph Day and Wanna See What I Bought?????

If you are linking over here from Debbie-Dabble,  SURPRISE!!

Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

Soon I will be doing most of my posting over here for the upcoming Christmas Season and I wanted to show you some Christmas items that I recently bought and being that it is Rudolph Day  ( the 25th of the month), I thought I would continue my series (from over on Debbie-Dabble) , Wanna See What I Bought ?????
over here today to either acquaint or re-acquaint you all with my Christmas Blog!!

I recently went to the Thrift Shop, Volunteer's of America , and seemed to come home with all Christmas goodies!!

Well, actually, these copper shatterproof ornaments will be used next Autumn on my Autumn Tree that I will have in my Living Room.  They were half the price of $1.31 a bag!!!

And this container of smaller ivory, copper and gold shatterproof ornaments was only 60 cents!!

Loved this Candy House Cookie Jar!!

It was half of $2.92!!

It will be perfect on the Kitchen!!

And look at this set.......

The cups came out to 45 cents each!!

And the tea pot was $1.50!!!

Joe picked this up for me at a newly opened Liquidation Center by us......

It is battery operated and it lights up ( LED lights) , plays music and the little tree spins around slowly!!

All for just $12.00!!

My neighbor's family is cleaning our her home as she can no longer live alone and what they don't want, we take up to our church Flea Market or I can have.

I now have 2 of these fantastic Vintage boxes!!!

And look what was in those boxes!!!!!!

One pair of Boy's size 10 skates and one pair of Boy's size 13 skates!!!

So Cute!!!!

And also these sweet little pillows.....

Love them!!

I will be making a donation to our Flea Market for what I keep from my neighbor's things.....

Then I went to the Dollar Tree the other day and they were just putting out Christmas things......

These were from their Mini Village but you can use these great green sparkle trees for crafting and anything!!

2 in a pack for a buck!! Can't beat that!!!

And I will use the little ponds for my Village that I set up under the LR tree.......

The Pots will most likely be used around my Doll House ......

and these will also be used for my Village.....

And look at these ornaments!!

You can fill them and use them for Tussie Mussies!!

Or stand them up and use them for Trees!!

And Gold Stars to match!!

Add these to wreaths or garland for an elegant look!!

And I am planning to change some things around a bit in the front of the house this Christmas season so I bought several of these natural greenery looking bushes......

I will probably be adding these to some real greenery......

And we also got our tickets to see Trans Siberian Orchestra!!!

This has become our Christmas tradition and we will be attending the 4:00 pm show on December 6th at the Mohegan Sun Arena which is about 5  minutes from our home!!

I hope to see you back here at A Debbie-Dabble Christmas soon as I plan to start my Christmas Decorating soon.....

Happy Rudolph Day!!

Yes, I am still alive but living over at Debbie-Dabble!!

This year, it seems that I have too much going on to keep both blogs going at the same time......

But I have been buying some Christmas goodies like these at Yard Sales.....

To read more about my yard sale finds, please click HERE

And I bought these at our church Flea Market.......

To read more about these and more Flea Market finds, please click HERE

We will be going through a major remodel at the end of September where we will be replacing the carpeting and flooring downstairs with Pergo Max wood laminate floors in the LR, DR, Kitchen and Hallway and a Slate/tile look laminate in the Powder Room. We are also getting new countertops and sink in the Kitchen!

Because of this, I will not be doing my usual Fall and Halloween decorating but I will get an early start on my Christmas decorating!!   The house will have a whole different look as we are doing some painting too so Christmas at our Home will have a different feel this year as compared to other years.....

We have already re-done our Powder Room by painting it, adding a new wall paper border and a new medicine cabinet and light fixture and I will still be decorating it with my Snow Buddies but I think it will have a nicer look with all the blue and white since it is now painted gray.......

 

So there will be a lot of changes for Christmas this year......

And I hope you will stop by to visit and see them when I start to post on this Blog regularly starting on November!!

Hugs,
Deb

Happy Rudolph Day!!

 Happy Rudolph Day!!

 It is the 25th of the month!!

You know me with Trees!!   Last Rudolph Day in Feb., I showed you how I kept up some of the trees that I had up for Christmas and re-decorated them for Valentine's Day and Winter.

So continuing with that theme, I had a St. Patrick's Day Tree in the Den.........

 

 I moved the white tree that I had in the guest room for Christmas down in to the Living Room and now I have an Easter Tree in the Living Room.....

 And I put up a pink tree bought several years ago after Christmas for a mere $5.00, in the Dining Room for a second Easter Tree...

 Instead of a Christmas Village, I now have a Bunny Village.....

And also for Easter, I still have the evergreen garland on my front porch railing but added some egg garland and pink LED lights.....

So I am still using some of my Christmas decorations and re-purposing them for other Holidays!!

I will be leaving the White tree up in the Living Room and it will become my Patriotic Tree for the Summer Holidays.....

Hope to see you next month on the 25th for Rudolph Day!!

Hugs,
Deb

Happy Rudolph Day!!

 It's Rudolph Day and I remembered!!

 
Last month on Rudolph's Day,  the 25th of every month, I shared how I changed some of my Christmas decorations into Winter and Valentine's Day Decorations........

Click HERE if you missed it.

This month, I will share the rest of those decorations with you......

I left up the 7 foot tree in the Living Room that looked like this for Christmas.....

I re-decorated it for Valentine's Day.....

And I also left up the 7 foot slim tree in the Dining Room that looked like this for Christmas....

And turned it also into a Valentine's Day Tree....

 These 2 trees are now packed up and stored in our Storage Shed , waiting for next Christmas season.....

Last month, I showed you the 4 foot Tree that I had in the Den re-decorated for Valentine's Day....

 It has now been turned into a St. Patrick's Day Tree.....

After St. Patrick's Day, this tree will also be packed up and stored away until next Christmas season.....

But I still have this Tree waiting in the wings to make an appearance.....

Remember how it was decorated for Christmas in my Guest Room....

 Here it is waiting to be moved down into the Living Room .........

But you will have to wait until next month to see it all decorated for Easter in all it's finery!!

Slowly, most of the "Christmas" decorations are being packed up and stored away.  But I have managed to get several months use out of a lot of the decorations instead of only several weeks.....

Even the outside, which was decorated for Winter,  was tweaked to celebrate Valentine's Day.....

A Valentine Wreath on the door.....

A string of red lights added to the garland.....

And a red lighted heart in the window....

My Winter outside decorations will soon be getting packed away too.......

Once all the snow melts!!

So I hope I have showed you how you can stretch out the length of time that you use your "Christmas" decorations and keep that warm glow in your home through out the dark deary Winter......

And sometimes beyond.....

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!!!
