I had never seen this post before, thanks for linking from the recent Target post- these are great ideas! I have so many ideas for the holidays this year, I just don’t know where I’ll be able to find enough space to execute them!

Hey Sara,

We got the lamps at Linens N Things about a year and a half ago (we actually registered for ‘em and got two of the last ones before they discontinued the Nate Berkus line). Maybe you can find some on eBay though? Or somewhere like Overstock? You can also search nextag.com for “glass based lamps” and see what comes up. Happy hunting!

xoxo,
Sherry

I love these ideas. Where did you snag your lamps? I have been looking for some that I can fill. I like the color of your glass though instead of the clear, which is all I can seem to find.

Lovely post! I, too, covet the feather tree. Inspired by you guys, I just posted on my own blog about how I use ornaments around the house.

I do something similar to your large vase idea. I use a large platter with 3 candles in various heights and widths. Cut some boxwood or a bit of pine and tuck around the base of the candles and top off with glass balls of various sizes. It also works well on a cake stand if you want height.
Love the feather tree. Saw them a Target recently, but alas, not in any color that I wanted! But I’m crafty, I’ll make a few in multiple sizes for a grouping.

Thanks Sherry! Didn’t find the trees at Target.com, but will purchase a white feather wreath I spotted.

This is perfect! I have large vases and needed a ‘filler’ for the holidays. Thanks!

I love the idea with the popcorn, and the mercury glass looks absolutely gorgeous with the silver balls in it. My mom got a few of those feather trees at Target last year also and I’m trying to convince her she doesn’t need them for her house, but rather mine…

Stick a cored apple into a tall glass candleholder, and put a candle through the center of the apple. Easy peasy and totally cute! Stole the idea from Gunston Hall Plantation in Mason Neck, VA. :)

Hey Ann Marie,

The green feather tree was actually a hand-me-down from my sister in law who snagged two last year at Target (and gave them both to us this year). Hooray for recycling! We’ve actually seen a variety of feather trees there again this year so you’ll probably have no trouble finding one of your own. Happy hunting…

xoxo,
Sherry
