With Christmas only a few weeks away, I know I’m not the only one rush-ordering holiday decor to round out the home holiday decor. Mr. Magpie purchased a ton of lights to string up the tree in front of our home as well as candles for every window — something we’ve wanted to do forever. I’ve been more focused on the interior and even set out to make my own garland! I desiccated oranges over the weekend to string up with twine and will blend that garland into a cedar garland from the local plant shop along with marigold-colored velvet bows and fairy lights. I might add these rustic-looking bells? Wish me luck. I am not the craftiest, so this could end in failure, but I followed the instructions here.
Anyhow, a roundup of some great last minute additions that are less risky than my DIY garland project —
