Hey there, Besties! 🌟 


With the holiday season twinkling on the horizon, I found myself tangled in a bit of a decorating dilemma. The festive spirit was calling, but my heart yearned for simplicity. That's when the magic of vintage mason jars paired with Dollar Tree's floral finesse came to the rescue!


A Love Affair with Mason Jars

My thrift store adventures often lead me to the humble mason jar aisle, where these glass treasures whisper tales of potential. Admittedly, my collection has grown perhaps a tad too ambitiously, with grand visions of decor that, until now, remained just a dream.

A Christmas Revelation

This year, my Christmas decorating spirit flickered to life a bit slowly, like a vintage string of lights warming up to its full glow. I needed a simple yet heartfelt way to welcome the holiday cheer into our home. And then, inspiration struck through my previously showcased Dollar Tree Christmas decor venture like the perfect plot twist in our favorite holiday movie.


The Creation of a Festive Oasis

Armed with newfound enthusiasm, I returned to Dollar Tree, eyes gleaming with the vision of the perfect floral arrangement. This time, I embraced the holiday palette more fully with two bouquets of white poinsettias and a dash of red filler to weave in a pop of traditional Christmas color. An old Atlas mason jar I already had promised to be the ideal vase for my festive bouquet.

Faux Florals for the Win

Given my less-than-green thumb, faux florals are my secret to enduring and effortless holiday charm. Not only do they offer a forgiving alternative to their perishable counterparts, but they also promise to grace our Christmases for years to come without a single droop or wilt.


The Joy of Simplicity

This experience has been a gentle reminder that Christmas decor doesn't need to shout to be heard. Sometimes, the most profound statements come from the simplest touches. A vintage mason jar filled with carefully chosen blooms can carry the essence of Christmas as beautifully as any grand display.

Remember, Besties, in the cozy workshop of life, it's the simple, loving touches that make the most significant impact. 🎄✨💕

I’ve been off to a super slow start when it comes to decorating for Christmas this year.  I just can’t get into it!  I needed something simple to ease into the Christmas decorating & I think I found it with these decorated mason jars!

I don’t have a green thumb at all, so fake floral is the way to go for me!  I love that I can also use these for years to come!
