The red trees by the front door; I was in Kohl’s after Christmas and they were getting rid of their displays. Five bucks each. That was being in the right place at the right time.

The swags; one of my favorite stores for over 30 years, Kirkland’s. They have beautiful home decor and great sales. Unfortunately I was told they were merging with Bed, Bath and Beyond in a brick and mortar store. Landlord doubled rent so it’s not going to open. This is in Wilmington, NC.

The tree; I bought this 4’ tree in Walmart for 39.99. Neighbor bought one in Dollar General for 25.00, with lights. The green lights I bought at the garden’s yearly plant sale for 1.00 a strand, I used two on the tree.

The starfish tree topper; I found this, where else, HomeGoods for 9.99. they also had a coastal tree skirt with shells that I didn’t get but wished I had.

The ornaments; Most of them are handmade, one of a kind. Some are from the Garden Shop and some from World Market. They were all full price and I didn’t care, I think they’re beautiful.
