Winter Decorating
I know I’ve showed similar Epsom Salt Candles before, but these are too cute not to share again! Epsom Salt Candles are a timely and fun project even the kids will enjoy! You could leave them out all winter long (the candles, not the kids)!
I love to use what I already have around the house to decorate. Having simple things on hand allows me to put centerpieces and quick decor together even right before guests arrive! That makes the procrastinator in me very happy!
Some of my decorating staples include mason jars and Epsom salts, candles, and things like fruit (real or faux), pine cones, sticks, leaves, rocks and moss.
Today’s ideas are perfect for what I usually have on hand!
BHG – Mason Jar Floating Candles
Floating candles in mason jars? Yes, please. These are adorable.
How much do I adore this? This neat basket arrangement of natural items would be awesome from Fall through spring and beyond.
Of course, my easy wreath centerpiece could also easily be adapted to whatever you have on hand in any season!
Hope you are enjoying the remaining days before Christmas!
Oh how I love beautiful and easy ideas like this! That last one I could do this very minute! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Love the floating candle in a mason jar! SO cute!

These are really adorable. I love the cranberry mason jar one it’s so fresh and bright. And the last one, wow! It reminds me of that pretty little garden you had in the box in the summer time. Thanks for sharing!

I thought of that similarity too, that is probably why I liked this one so much! :-)
Thanks for the ideas! I am going to use the floating candle idea for my big feast of the seven fishes dinner!
Melissa,
I love the mason jar with the floating candle, cranberries and greenery. That is such a cute idea. The epsom salt candles are wonderful too.

I love the tablescape with the birds and candles, it is so cute!
So cute.
And, your own Epsom salt snow candles in mason jars make the perfect “toss it together” centerpieces, too!

love these ideas…..especially the first one…the blue container in the background kind of makes it.

Loved this post. There’s a lot to be said about just using what you have to decorate for the holidays. I did a post on last minute things you can do to decorate outdoors for the holidays. The media has us thinking we have to jump up and go buy something new. The reality is by just moving stuff, adding a little holiday something and switching things around in the rooms makes a big difference. Merry Christmas!

I always decorate with what I have on hand as well. Sometimes you need a little inspiration to keep things interesting and that is just what you have given us. Thanks.
