I will find inspiration for a creative project in the oddest places....
this time it was a website for pet food
The pets in our home always get a little something in their stocking for Christmas.
Clementine gets a treat
Tribble gets a treat
Miss Marshmallow gets a treat
While doing an online search for the little gifts to fill our pets stockings
I came across a website that sold inexpensive grapevine candy canes and stars as edible snacks for rabbits and guinea pigs. As soon as I saw them I thought how cool they would be as a decorations for Christmas.
I placed an order for some pet gifts and added on a few grapevine candy canes and stars for my holiday kitchen mantle decorating.
I spent about $12 for my items. After the package arrived I needed to pick up a few more things.
I stopped at the supermarket and picked up a $4.99 bouquet of white flowers. Once home I headed into the backyard with my clippers to cut some evergreens.
Using some vintage apothecary jars, fresh greens, the white flowers, a few pinecones and my newly purchased grapevine stars and candy canes - I set out to create my holiday mantle. The total cost with my purchased supplies was $17
the best part is that after the holidays are over
these guys get to eat the decorations
