Although we love living in “yeah THAT greenville“, sometimes we miss our home towns.  Imagine our excitement when we ran across this awesome idea!!  We MUST have Northern California and Georgia – pronto!!  And we think these would be great gifts for just about anyone living afar…

Order by December 16 for Christmas delivery.  Get on it, belles!

amazon, diy, lights, wreath

Lights aren’t only for the tree and the yard (which can be disastrous…hello, Clark Griswald)

We have found the perfect bit of sparkle for our wreaths this year – inside and out – and they are battery-operated, making them super easy (no pesky cords…score!)

For example…

On the door


In the kitchen

These little copper string lights are the-sparklin’-bomb!!

Get your Christmas lights here

Twinklin’ all the way
