Happy Wednesday Friends! It's no secret, I adore decorating for Christmas and this year I'm adding a repurposed yard sale find to the mix.
First, I want to tell you about a surprise I received in the mail from AnnMarie at Musings of a Vintage Junkie; wrapped in red and tied with a bow!
Look at this adorable waterless mason jar snow globe! I just love the white bottle brush trees and tiny deer. Such a thoughtful gesture--a deer gift from a dear friend ;) I will treasure it ~ thanks AnnMarie!
On to the project! You may remember this little bunk bed ladder I found at a yard sale. Its small, compact size made the perfect drying rack for my bedroom.
Now that the holidays are here, I thought it would be fun to deck it out in style! I wrapped some white sparkly tinsel around a strand of 50 lights and arranged it around the ladder rungs. Then I added some tiny star garland created from sheet music that I picked up at my favorite craft sale last year.
Next I added a metal Peace sign--it was a Homegoods find from holiday clearance several years ago.
Finally, I used ribbon to hang several vintage ornaments. Now this thrifty ladder has been repurposed twice!
After Christmas, it will go back to functioning as a drying rack.
Merry, Merry!

I love the ladder, Cecilia! My husband had a bunk bed and we still have parts of it, but no more ladder. And the PEACE sign is darling, as well as you dear friend, Ann Marie. Her gift to you is so adorable.
