All right, so you guys remember this stunning dress that I thrifted from the Salvos in Tempe.

So this is my Christmas dress and my husband hasn't seen it yet, so we're going to show him now.

So you guys watched me decorate our guest bedroom using only thrifted items, and today we're going to be decorating our full wall dining room, once again, using only things that we thrifted.

The only exception is basically going to be our dining table and the chairs, but aside from that, I have thrifted a beautiful bookshelf, I have thrifted a lot of decor, home decor.

Everything that's going to be on our Christmas table is all thrifted, so join us.

We're just going to put on some Christmas carols and essentially just set up this room, because at the moment, it looks pretty horrible.

We're waiting for the skirting boards to get installed, so just ignore that part.

But anyway, join us while we decorate for Christmas.

So one small issue I've encountered is that I set up my beautiful Christmas tree upstairs when I filmed that thrifted Christmas decorations video.

I set it up up here because the lighting was the nicest, but it really needs to be downstairs in the lounge room.

How does one transport a fully assembled, decorated Christmas tree?

Alright, now that our tablecloth is on the table, let me just start off by saying, this is just a piece of hessian fabric from Spotlight.

I'm going to show you some more little Christmas decorations that I've picked up over the past couple of days from thrift stores, starting off with Dan's favourite.

So the first time that I went thrift shopping for decorations, I spotted him at the Dural

Vinnies, and I didn't buy him, and I thought about him for several days, and I played my favourite game, Let the Universe Decide For Me, and I said, if he's still there when I go back, he was meant to live with us, and of course, he was there with his arms open waiting for me.

Look, he was just waiting for a little cuddle, see?

Now, my original plan for this thing, this is just like a big wire Christmas tree.

Unfortunately, it is very easy to detach.

It's got a screw where it's supposed to screw on, but the thread is actually worn off, which is so annoying, because you guys know those beautiful baubles.

I wanted to get this so that I could take those incredible baubles and thread them onto it like that, and then I could sit it in front of a window, and then the light would shine through them, but because this is so un-sturdy, because it falls apart very easily, I don't think I'm going to be able to do that.

I guess I could put some super glue or something in there.

I don't know, Dan, have you got any ideas?

All right, so I'm going to trust Dan to make this thing work properly and safely for my beautiful glass baubles.

This was $5, and I don't think that they realized that it was broken, or otherwise I don't think they would have charged $5 for it.

Okay, this is another thing that I spotted the first time that I went decoration shopping.

I didn't buy it because it was $25, which I thought was too much, but it's a beautiful gold candle tree, and it's got little snowflakes hanging off it, and my original intention for this was I was going to take all of these out, and I was going to put all of them in a pot of boiling water and melt the wax down, remove all of the wax from all of them, and

I make candles, and I was going to make blue and pink pastel candles and pour them back in, but I ran out of time.

So I will do that at a later date, because this will be with us for many years.

I know it's 2020, and it feels like there may never be a Christmas again, but next Christmas

I can put different colored candles in this, so I'll burn these ones down this Christmas.

This will definitely be sitting on the table.

It doesn't entirely match the theme, the colors are a little bit off, but I think our family will forgive me.

If I say to buckaroos, is that a pun, because they buck, is that, is that?

It says that it was $9, and it's like a little crystal Christmas tree.

It says on the bottom that it's crystal, and you're supposed to sit like a tea light in here and burn it, and I was actually thinking I was going to like spray paint the star gold and I was going to stick little like bauble things all over it, but this is another one that I ran out of time to do my arts and crafts on.

But it's beautiful as it is anyway, so hopefully that doesn't matter too much.

It's a beautiful glittery candle that's like a flower, and it was $2 from Vinnies.

This is one of those days till Christmas countdowns.

It's Christmas Eve right now, so one day till Christmas.

He was $6, which I thought was a great find.

So I found these also at the Dural Vinnies.

I don't know if like one very generous person donated all of their Christmas decorations or what, but that was a gold mine there.

They had everything, and these were $6 each.

Now, these are from a store called Dusk, which is like kind of like Bath and Body Works.

So, oh my God, you probably, I don't know if you can see.
