fireplace swags/garlands

[justcallmemummypig]

For years I have wanted one of those garlands that swags across a fireplace but they can be so expensive, but have decided i am going to bite the bullet this year and get one.

I love shabby chic/country style and want a green garland with red and gold.

Has anyone seen any nice ones??

Have you visited your local garden centre? It's a shame you didn't get one in the sales in January. I got one last year from my local florist and it's lush. I'd also always wanted one but had never got round to it.

Those Christmas Shops that crop up in shopping centres usually have them.
I need to replace some of mine -good reminder

I'm going to get the Lakeland Limited glittering holly swag this year.
Beauty is, you can add ribbon, ivy, baubles and lights.The 'branches' are wire so can twist to hold them.

I have a couple of cheapy ones from years ago but if you throw enough pine cones/decorations at them they perk up no end! :D
