As I started pulling out my decorations this year for Christmas, I realized that as much as I have, I still don't have everything I want to decorate this year. There were a few things that I had wanted last year that I wasn't able to find. So the search began.
The first thing on my list was felt mistletoe. My favourite was made by Roost. It's the prettiest mistletoe I have ever seen. I had looked everywhere last year but it was sold out. It was also an extra 40$ to ship to Canada which I wasn't ready to spend. So I started my search early this year and I found it online from a store in Seattle, Washington called Fireworks Gallery. They were wonderful and quick to help. I was lucky enough to order on Cyber Monday when they had free shipping to Canada, yay!! So after a couple of weeks of waiting (not so patiently but oh so excitedly) it has arrived and has been place in its special place.
Also, I really wanted felt garland. I saw a beautiful one while cruising on Pinterest and so had to decide if I would like to try making the felt balls or order them. After lots of research and realizing I didn't have the time to make hundreds of felt balls, I decided to order them on Etsy. I found a great shop in Vancouver, British Columbia called Honey Canada that sold felt balls in different sizes. I was able to order 200 (size 15-18 mm) for about 56$. So I decided to do two strands of garland and here is the first:
I hope that these have given you some inspiration for decorating this holiday season. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas!
