[ having a ball ]

ONE OF THE easiest way to add some glitz and sparkle for the holidays is decorating with ball ornaments. They can be fancy vintage ones or cheap ones from the dollar store  - it's how you display them that makes them shine.

    Now that was a fun little tour. Ball ornaments are one of my favorite (and least expensive) things to use, love bowls or jars filled with them. I really like like that silver ball wreath and silver twig candle holder as well.

    Loving this inspiration! I've taken a lot of my extra ornaments and put them in a glass bowl. Love the look and it's so easy!

    I do love branches
    filled with goodies!
    And, I could look
    at Christmas decorating
    pictures all year long.
    I save them and one of
    these years I will
    actually pull them out
    in July like I want to
    and start planning
    homemade gifts and decor
    ideas WAY in advance,
    when I'd really have a
    chance of pulling them
    off : ) Thanks for the
    inspiration, Lisa!
