I got a call from Mrs Hillbilly this morning...
she is hosting a party tonight for about 20 clients...
Translation: not a fun party...
Originally she called wanting to borrow some serving dishes...
then eventually the conversation turned to if I had a poinsettia she could borrow for her front porch.
"Are you kidding? Do you think I would actually BUY a poinsettia?"
"My dearest Mrs. Hillbilly... I can do better than that..."
Lucky for her I had read Rechelle's post earlier this morning...
This container is one of the many *free* items Mrs. Hillbilly received from our last Southern Living party... Watch as I fill it with *free* stuff...

Here I am... walking down her driveway...
trying to escape her rabid and smelly dog...
Look! Free Holly!
Look! A whole tote of free greenery...
All you have to do is lay it out...
and add a little pine and cedar to the overpriced bucket...
Look... Rechelle... we have matching gloves!
add some free holly...
find some pine cones and ribbon...
And there you have it folks...
It's free and festive...
and way better than a poinsettia!
Note to Mrs. Hillbilly... I will be expecting my "you're the best neighbor ever" cheesecake within 72 hours...

Gorgeous, Mavis. Simply gorgeous! And you're moving in next door to my house when?
ReplyDeleteOH...so beautiful!! I agree...WAAAYY nicer than a poinsettia! I would love to live near a "green belt" where I could get some of that holly...it's SO PRETTY!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas!
Blessings,

That IS way better than a poinsettia. Mr. Handsome (who is peering over my shoulder) even says so.
ReplyDeleteThat was very cool way to replace a poinsettia and it was free. You are very creative. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThy hand... Camille, Mamajj,and Jacque...thank you! It just goes to show that you don't have to spend money to look festive :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the arrangement. You forgot to mention that you suggested that Ms Hillbilly put a fragrance candle in the middle... which I did and it had not only a wonderful Southern pine smell but a nice glowy effect.
