Wish I had a picture. My mother’s gold spray painted tumbleweed.
My first Christmas here and having no money, I didn’t use a tumbleweed but I did use another type of dead weed that blew into my yard, I don’t know what it was but for decorations I grabbed a fistful of Walmart christmasy gift card blanks and used them for the decorations by making a hole and using string to hang them.
I also cut some branches from a tree and pinned them to the walls to break up the blankness of the room.
It’s a mind picture. And all of us are creating variations on the image for ourselves. My image has a paper reindeer hanging off of it, also painted gold.
When I had my shop, I would place a 4 ft mesquite sapling on the coffee bar with a shotgun shell hanging on one branch…
