Chic on the Cheap

If you haven't noticed by now, the two of us Babs Blog sisters are BIG fans of Ebay and Etsy. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is that these two sites allow us to buy fun and creative items without breaking the bank. Face it, folks: Budgets are tight these days and people are paying a lot more attention to dollars and cents. However, you needn't sacrifice style in these days of decreased expendable income. Instead, be creative!
Above you'll see three photos of very simple yet stylish decor that would work great for your next party's centerpiece or for Christmas decor around the house. The white milkglass vessels all came from Ebay. Go to Ebay and search for "white milkglass" and you'll see literally thousands of items in different shapes and sizes to bid on. The items in the collection above were all less than $7.00 a piece (and a couple were obtained for 99 cents plus shipping!) The greenery was inexpensive, too! The mossy pieces were obtained on clearance at the local Marshall's and the trees (real Gold European Trees) came from a sale at Ikea!
Grouped together, the crisp white and vivid green look decidedly sophisticated. How chic---and how cheap!
