farmy Christmas ideas

Hello Dear Sugar Pies! I always love bringing you ideas that will delight your heart as well as inspire you to brighten the corner where you are and to make your home a blessing for your family and for yourself! To make it merry and bright and filled with comfort and joy. Here are 10 gorgeous ideas that I found on Pinterest that I love so much I wanna marry ’em! Lol! That’s just my goofy way of saying these ideas are delicious eye candy if you love that farmy (farmhouse/homey) look!

How adorable to take three buckets filled with tree clippings, (which you can get for free at Home Depot and Lowes at their Christmas tree lot) and then paint the letters J-O-Y! You can use a white chalk marker instead of painting it, so you can wash it off after Christmas if you want! (You can find the White Chalk Marker here in this affiliate link)

I LOVE this huge chalkboard and the simple “Joy to the world” design and my favorite cafe lights that I use a lot in my own home!

Love this simple way to wrap a package…makes me want to sing “brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things!” You can find the red and white bakers twine here in this affiliate link.

Why not dress up your cookie jar for Christmas! Tie some red and white twine around the lid and add a sprig of green!
