Happy New Year, all you wonderful people!
Mom got this about 25 years ago. She'd seen the same decoration at a place where she worked and wanted one just like it.
It's an over-sized champagne glass filled with iridescent gift packing stuff (what the heck is it called? Looks like rainbow colored plastic straw I guess lol), then she bought these Christmas ornaments that look like bubbles, champagne bubbles! Arrange and wha-la, looks like a giant champagne glass, bubbling over with champagne! Instant New Year decoration!
It's so easy to set up and take down. This is what I love, decorating done easy.
OK, so I ripped this off from last year's post, because I have yet to take the box with the New Year decoration out yet! *blush*
But I have been, as ever, crazy busy with work.
At any rate, thanks for letting me vent a few times throughout these past couple weeks. I guess this wasn't the "best" holiday season for me, but it sure helped to be able to say it, and hear that a lot of you also find this season... A challenge.
I hope everyone is doing well!
Happy Thursday!

ReplyDeleteYou too, Ally!
It's so simple but cool, LV =)
You're Mom must have been decorating every holiday! Did your family have a tradition for the New Year? We didn't do much, except it bacame our tradition to watch the "Thin Man" movie of Nick and Nora having to solve a murder on New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteHappy Eve's Eve to ya!
Nice decorations, happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI need more New Years decor! I know, that will be my resolution, I resolve to get more New Years decor in the New Year! Zootsuitmama
ReplyDeleteSC: yes! Mom made it a point to decorate for every holiday, even St Patricks Day. I love that she bothered, it made a difference, even though we rarely did anything "special".
ReplyDeleteFor New Year, well, the folks were already having their health problems, so we stayed home and celebrated with a little sparkling cider and maybe a good dinner.
But, it was special because it was family. =)
Happy New Year, Toyin!
ReplyDeleteZSM, I have a little something for every holiday... If I can get things out each time!
oooh we don't even do NYE decorating in the UK, but then I guess you guys decorate for far many holidays than we do.
ReplyDeleteMy family always celebrating NYE more as my mum is Scottish and it's a big deal in Scotland.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year STM!
ReplyDeleteI THOUGHT I'd seen that photo before! So that means we've been bloggy friends for a year. Woo hoo!!!! It has been my great pleasure to have you for a buddy and I just wanted to let you know that. I think we might have been sisters (or brothers. Or littermates. Or whatever) in another life! Happy New Year to you, my dear friend!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever. I might have to "borrow" this idea for centrepieces when my company plans a NYE party next year (too late for this years decor). I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is way cool! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, by the way! :)
I love that decoration!
