The presents have been unwrapped, decorations stored away until next year, cookies eaten, and parties attended. Sometimes, the first few weeks after the holidays make me feel like all that looms ahead of me is a long, gloomy winter.
I love the fresh, clean, I-can-do-anything feeling I get when January 1st rolls around, but sometimes I feel like I need a little sparkle around the T house while I wait to dig out the Valentine's decor.
Remember this stuff?
Yesterday, I decided it was time to break out a little winter sparkle!
I started with the bare windows in the addition.
Only a few weeks ago, it was festooned with garland, polka dot ribbon, and glittery ornaments. Like I said, I love the fresh start of January, but I need some shine.
I looped one end of my pom pom fringe around the end of the curtain rod and safety pinned it in place.
I did the same with the other end, tucking the extra length of fringe behind the curtains after I took the photo:
Time to accessorize! I knew the glittery snowflakes I picked up at Target's 50% off sale would come in handy!
I looped each one through the pom pom attachments:
Love it! A great solution to the "winter blahs" I felt over the weekend.

Very cute. I am hoping to get a similar snowflake garland up. One of these days...just after I actually get around to taking down the Christmas decorations. AHH! That's the goal for this week!
ReplyDeleteSuper Cute! I love winter decor and think it gets passed over too often.

ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. I'm off to see what I have lying around. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love this! If I can ever get curtains done for my family room window, those would look fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling ! It's charming how it "matches" the snow on the ground outside. I love how you're celebrating winter instead of rushing towards spring !
ReplyDeleteLove it! Yesterday as we finally got the tree and everything down, I was wondering what am I going to put in all my jars now? I thought of snowflakes, but I wasn't smart enough like you to get them at the clearance sales.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE it! It's so pretty Amanda! Hmmm...methinks me needs to try something like this to shake of my winter blues!
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE!!! I actually have these exact same snowflake ornaments :). I'll have to try this, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
