a suite christmas

since we've downsized to a one room suite, Christmas decor needed to be chosen carefully. so the dollar store came in so very handy. my sister in law planned a Pinterest craft to make the wreath with just dollar store bulbs and a hanger. and Design Sponge taught me how to make votives with just an LED candle and some wax paper.

and a few bucks filled my frames. literally. on a few levels.

and this little guy was just too cute

and ian picked a baby red tree

downsizing can be a beautiful thing. we brought the best - our homemade stockings from our first Christmas and our mistletoe. that's all we need.
