Just a quick head up to let you know our local Costco has their fresh wreaths, garland, poinsettias in stock and ready to adorn our home!
If my Costco here in Maine has them, your’s probably does too!
I told the HH we should only buy a live tree this year to decorate the cottage because come spring we can plant it!!
The HH said the only decoration the cottage needs is a leg lamp in the window and I nearly passed out.
I had hoped he had forgotten about it.
Apparently not!
Flocked trees. Remember those? Did you grow up with one in your living room all ablaze with fat colored bulbs on Christmas morning?
I did. And I loved it. 😉 I wonder if you can still get flocked trees anymore?
Costco has mini ones. Which presumably you can plant outside. Even with all its flockedness.
At $19.99 I think Costco has the best looking fresh wreaths in town. I can’t remember how long we had ours up last year. The end of January?
Here in New England a good percentage of people don’t take them down until the ground thaws.
Which I thought was a little strange. But I get it now {too cold!}.
25 feet of fresh garland for $18.99. What a deal. Cheaper than a cheeseburger and fries and it will stay green all winter.
I loaded up!
I also splurged on some shatterproof ornaments. I’m going to hang those up on the fresh garland on the picket fence.
Buoys on one fence, garland and ornaments on the other. After all, I don’t want the compound to look all matchy matchy.
Looking for C9 lights?
Costco has those C9 lights we were all talking about last week. 100 fat bulbs for $23.99 seemed like a good buy to me.
I was pricing them online and they were that much for half the bulbs!
Waxed amaryllis bulbs. Have you tried these?
I saw these last year at Costco and didn’t like the idea of a bulb being trapped in wax so I didn’t buy any.
I passed on them again this year. Did you buy these? How were the blooms? I’d love to know.
And last but not least, big poinsettias for $15.99. I thought that was a good deal.
Cedar garland was the last thing I needed from Costco for the year. Now after we get the place decorated for Christmas I can settle in and work on all house projects.
I LOVE this time of year!
I don’t know about you, but I am ready for snow!!
