The holidays are upon us and many of us are getting ready with our favorite holiday decorations. As much as I love the silvers and golds and greens, red somehow brings out the traditional holiday spirit.

When I see red home decor items I just gravitate towards them. One doesn't have to blow one's budget when decorating for the holidays. I like the less is more approach and red gives a great visual impact. Small touches of it also brighten up a neutral setting. Many a dollar store find has been brought home to fill up a small color niche. Like the red wine glasses at 99 cents each. How about the red vase from my favorite charity store. The red carbonated water bottle was a whole $1.49, and it had water in it! The decorated holiday trimmings were $1.00 each at the dollar store. Red toile fabric I bought at a flea market in Paris 10 years ago will work itself in there somehow. It's an antique curtain panel and has holes in it. I cut snippets of it periodically when crafting. What else, oh the red gingham I found on sale at JoAnn's Fabrics which matches the lampshades on my pole lamps. I'll use it to re-cover the mini chandelier shades.
I have my work cut out for me so let me go shake a leg! Wow, I haven't heard that expression in years! Not around here anyway...
........have a great day everyone!!!
