I love to re-purpose things! Even my Christmas decor. Depending on the busy-ness of the months after the holidays, my decor planning has a method to its madness; especially my entry table. My mood drives me as the decorating season begins (woodsy, earthy, glitzy), and this year as I was setting up my table, I had in mind how I could easily make this winter Christmas wonderland transition into it’s next life; Valentine’s Day. The frosty winter woodland animals easily speak winter , and the vibrant red poinsettias (that I didn’t kill) definitely pop with Valentine color. Enter the dangling red hearts and teardrops to the already existing sparkly tree and voila, it’s the season of love. And I hardly had to move a thing. Now that’s some bang for my time stretched buck! So when deciding whether that red or green decor will be added to your Christmas stash, think re-purpose! Green for St. Patrick’s Day, Spring, and Easter, heck even Arbor day if that’s your thing…, and red for Christmas of course, Valentine’s Day and Fourth of July! With the last couple of winters in my mountain town, who knows… the frosty woodland scene may even still apply come July! OY!
