We've recently changed from having a tall tree to decorating a table-top tree, and I'm quite happy with this choice.
I dread the un-decorating more than I enjoy the decorating, and a small tree just feels more manageable. What I've lost in height I've made up for in numbers as I add to my gradually increasing little tree accumulation.
All of those are at the front of the house. My new pride and joy is this little pink wonder:
bought already festooned with silver at a local antique mall. For $4. I'm not kidding. $4. It begged me to bring it home, and how could I refuse? It's on the kitchen counter where it's in my line of sight as I look out onto the patio.

OMGoodness. I have tree envy. You have some incredible trees. I'm in awe. As a person who also only uses table top trees, I adore the ones you have. I can't believe the versatility of some of these trees. Some I've never seen anything like before. I am in total awe of these, dear. I LOVE them all. They are all beautiful, and that pink tree is a STEAL! BTW, I have a cardinal pillow similar to yours. It lives year round in my main floor bath.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you where most of them came from if there are any in particular you're interested in. For example, in the photo on the top left with the little snowman the tree in the back came from an antique mall, but the other two came from target.
DeleteI have a little cardinal pillow that goes with the tree one, but it's up on the couch.
...you sure have decked the halls! I have wreaths up and the tree is decorated and that about it. I should go shopping with you!
ReplyDeleteI've had most of these decorations longer than I can remember. I do get the occasional new little tree.
DeleteI went to a tabletop tree 2 years ago. At first, it looked a little pathetic remembering the 6 foot tree we had. But yes, as Himself is having difficulty walking, hauling boxes up and downstairs is beyond him. And I was overwhelmed with the thought of that big tree. The tabletop tree is just right for the Dollhouse and me. Tree and smaller ornaments are stored upstairs. Easy to put up and not so much clean up when it has to come down. Truthfully, I was happy with a tiny Advent tree I have, but the family called me a Grinch. I love your tiny trees scattered around. Maybe a thought for next year. Your decorations are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) All the ornaments won't fit, but I've come to terms with that. I'm the only one who navigates the attic stairs these days, and we don't use the spare bedroom as a bedroom so I'm just storing decorations up there.
DeleteAll such beautiful decorations to celebrate the best time of the year (OK one of the best times...) Pink anything is perfection (IMO). I wish I had the storage space to collect nativity scenes.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Yes, nativity scenes tempt me, but I just don't have room for more of those than I already have.
DeleteWow! Lots of decorations! You are ready for Christmas. Looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm ready! :) Thank you :)
DeleteBeautiful decorations, it all looks so very seasonal. Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I love seasonal decorations :)
DeleteWow, all your Christmas trees look stunning! I couldn't believe how many ornaments you fitted on your table top tree - amazing 😁. Thanks for sharing your wonderful decorations, this has really put me in the Christmas spirit! I hope you had a lovely weekend! Hugs,J x
ReplyDeleteWhere there's a will there's a way lol We still can't fit them all onto the little tree, but we try ;)
