Christmas is coming!
We decorated the tree on Saturday (this is the earliest we've put it up - I hope it lasts!!!)...Here is the decorating play by play:
...600 white twinkle lights (I would like one more stand of 200 please!)
...moss green, see-through green, and clear globes (I bought more glass orbs this year from the Bay...they were already 30pct off...if they go cheaper I am going to pounce!)
...all the fun colorful ornaments
...bling! (icicles and snowflakes, mostly homemade bead ornaments + some crystal, some plastic!)
..and this year I decided to try bows (instead of homemade gingerbread men)! I put them on last...
I don't have a star for the top, or a wrap for the bottom (no rush...)...and I still have to dress the mantle
...the tree doesn't have a theme...or a style...I don't actually know how to give it a theme, or style, or decorator's touch...I'm like a kid who has to load it up with everything I got!
It definitely feels like Christmas time around here now!!!

Looks great and the theme is how you see xmas. I really like how you decorated the mantle ... now only if we could find a painting to go over ours!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is a next week thing for our place. Can't wait.
I spot an Eiffel Tower. So perfect! Where did you get it? I also love your little felt/wool person ornament.

You did a great job. How does your men like it especially our little one.
ReplyDeleteThx Jordana! The felt people are from Zara Home, and the Eiffel Tower is a key chain (5 for 1 euro)...I picked them up in Paris in the fall!

ReplyDeletei just zoom zoom zoom ... i only know the basics...i was in a dark room so i maxed out the exposures and maxed the ISO and zoomed...i think i had it so the background would be blurry...i usually do this...i never change that setting...
ReplyDeleteAww, it looks great!! I love all the sparkle. I'm the same way, kind of sentimental when it comes to my ornaments. I want them ALL to go on the tree, no matter what colour or shape!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely getting in the mood for Christmas now! This looks great. After our party, I will get started.
