I am planning to decorate a woodsy and animal tree this year in the rec room, if the floor ever gets laid.  I wanted rustic ornaments, tree skirt, etc., and I found them there, online.  The box arrived yesterday, and everything is wonderful for that tree.  None of what I bought was fragile, so no breakage this time.

 

I also bought some Japanese lantern sprays to complete my Fall arrangements, beautiful!

 

Of course, I have already bought ornaments from zulily that would fit that tree.

I love that idea! Sounds so cute and I like rustic!

Cant wait to see pics of your beautiful tree with woodland. This year I'm thinking of buying a tree (been years since I've had one).  I saw a nice one at Hobby Lobby today.  They also have really nice "containers" for them.

 

-- went in to get 1 acrylic paint oh my I tried to be "good" but....even 🙈 this didn't help!

 

The Christmas decor is gorgeous (every theme you can think of)and its 40% off.  I bought 2 pretty ornaments (gift) and this cute light-up cupcake.

and I loved VPH wreath I saw with the ornaments (H211826) I saw this but even on sale $159 is too much☹️

I wish my VPH picks didn't ship because HLhas some beautiful picks for $1.25/each (40% off). It will cost me to much to return!  

 

They also had some beautiful Fall candle rings & decor.

 

I definitely need to stay out of there😉

@homedecor1  I have been online there this morning, and found more that I didn't see before, hope they all fit on the tree, lol.

 

I have already done so much damage at zulily, but each place has different items.

 

Wow, I am surprised at the cost of the the wreath, and the ornaments are plastic to boot, no doubt, no way.  I had guilt over paying $54 plus tax and shipping on a Valerie Fall wreath, and if it hadn't been for the easy pay, probably would not have bought it.  It is the wreath with the apples and pears with bright Fall colors.

ive never shopped Zulily -- I do enough "damage" on Q or other stores😉

 

Yes it was costly was 32".  I'm loving the TSV flocked wreath by BL.  I can add ornaments, etc. I'm still thinking about it🙉

@homedecor1 When I go to Hobby Lobby I never take a basket or cart anymore. 

 

This way I can only buy what I can carry in my hands!

@mousiegirl - I have recently been second guessing wreath purchases as well, but last weekend, I bought all the supplies to make a harvest wreath that was just what I wanted, and the cost for the materials—all of which were on sale—was just as much as the wreath I'd been shunning based on its price. And I still had to put it all together! So I've now decided that if I like a wreath and it is even a remotely reasonable price, I'll just consider the shipping cost to be the equivalent of a "manufacturing fee" and joyfully welcome it into my home. Smiley Happy

 

ETA: Do you like the apple/pear wreath? I couldn't decide if it was nice or not because all the fruit seemed clustered in a rigid ring and I didn't know how flexible the design might be...

@loriqvc  H216556 is the wreath I just bought on 5 easy pays.  I will let you know if once it arrives, I still like it.  I thought the fruit looked pretty realistic, and I am a tough judge, lol, should have it next week.

 

I agree that the material for making a wreath can even be more expensive, as I looked into it once,  If I had something in my mind that only I could create, if I had never seen it anywehere, then I may succumb, but I doubt it, as I have so much to do around here daily, and I want to get back to scrapbooking this winter, hopefully, have a mountain of that to do.

@CelticCrafter  That wouldn't work for me, I would run to find a cart, lol.

@mousiegirl  A woodland themed tree is so beautiful. I decorated a small one several years ago and received so many compliments. They are so individual and creative.
