Tickets cost $5 and will be sold at the library Dec. The wreaths then will be awarded in a raffle. 10, with visitors encouraged to deposit coins and bills in corresponding voting boxes. Voting at the library will continue through Dec. Library visitors of all ages were invited to vote for their top three favorites in a display of holiday wreaths entered by residents in an inaugural wreath-decorating contest. The library served cookies and hot chocolate and offered games, music, crafts and other activities as part of its free Winter Wonderland party coinciding with the holiday luminary celebration. Claus at the Greensburg Hempfield Area Library was one of the highlights Thursday for children attending downtown Greensburg’s annual Luminary Night. I created this 20 Minute floral arrangement last year – and it is such a simple way to take those holiday clippings and greens and turn them into a fresh winter bouquet to warm up the house.A visit with Santa and Mrs. And just because those greens are generally ‘Christmas’ doesn’t mean you can’t use them for Winter decor. Those bundles of sprigs of pine and eucalyptus? You can grab them for song at the grocery store after the holidays. I always have a hard time tossing green wreaths that dry so beautifully- so I leave them up and enjoy them year round. Dried WreathĪ similar idea to above- this eucalyptus wreath was fresh- and dried over the holiday season. and leave just the greens up and bring in a few flowers for a fresh look. Something I have done before is to pack away the Christmas elements- like the stockings, baubles, etc. The mantel can be one spot that feels especially bare after the holidays. A perfect way to cozy up and create a bit of winter ambiance. Leftover from Christmas stylings- leave a few strands of twinkle lights to the firebox, mantel or even on a side table. If you don’t have a wreath- a basket of pinecones or even just a few pinecones scattered on the nightstand or mantel will add the same feeling. Leave that pinecone wreath up and take away the glittery baubles for a fresh winter feeling. I love pinecones and clippings for the holidays- and you can use those same things for winter decor. The first look is so simple- it is using natural elements. In January I tend to share ways to warm up the house and decorate it for winter using what you have on hand- and that is exactly what I am talking about today. I have repurposed holiday elements into winter many times- so it isn’t totally crazy over here. So that means- I am looking at Christmas as Winter Decor right now. I haven’t had time to get anything packed away yet. But all that time on that tiling meandering path combined with a face pounding sinus infection? I have been moving slower than usual and well, the house is looking like twinkling trees and holly jolly Christmas yet. And the straight path becomes a bit more like a rambling path through the forest.īut the good news? It is ALMOST DONE. The bathroom renovation in the little cottage has been eating up a lot of time every day- and my new nail polish kind of resembles Snow White tile grout.ĭid I mention that the original design plan went from simple to complicated and a whole lot of ‘extra’ ? Yeah, I have a way of finding inspiration while in the middle of working on something. It has been a bit of a whirlwind of busy work after Christmas and New Years.
