Our Christmas Home - Christmas Trees

Glimpses of Christmas around the house, featuring trees. I can't get a picture of our big tree that shows what it looks like in person, so I gave up on that. This first photo is in our foyer. There is no electrical outlet there, so it has to be all about reflecting in the mirror. I have a few battery operated votives that make it look pretty at night:
This pink painted wicker tree was in our basement when we moved in here 9 years ago. I was like - pink wicker, huh? that's, um, - interesting.... But then, this year, I thought of something to do with it! I placed in in the window of our pink and blue vintage 40's bathroom , and I love how it looks!
My Barbie tree. The larger green tabletop tree that I used to use broke, so it hasn't been quite the same since, but I still enjoy it.

And then- to indulge my love of felt and sequins - A Christmas tree to hold holiday cards:
This is the shimmer tree on my revolving stand. Mirrored ornaments, a mirror and light behind it, and a mirror beneath for added sparkle as it spins:
And this little tree was given to me by my sister for my first Christmas when I lived alone. I was living in an old rented trailer, and she gave it to me to be sure I had a Christmas tree in my own home that year. I love it. This is on my bedside table, which is actually a small antique dressing table:

So, that's it for today -little trees.

    All your trees are lovely, but my favorite has to be the pink one with the angels sitting in a row beneath. Great collection of angels.

    I think my favorite is the card holder--I love felt & sequins too! Always have and I think I always will. :)

    I'm loving the pink wicker - I can see where it would be questionable on first sight, but it's just great!

    You have some ornaments that I don't! Like the black and white striped bathing suit one and the midge in the blue and white dress!

    I am bringing my camera and I am taking pictures of everything. I just can't wait to see it. And smell and eat the turkey, and hug and kiss everybody. Oh boy, Christmas! Love T

    Such pretty little scenes everywhere. I have a serious thing for felt and sequins too! I've even started making net hostess aprons with felt and sequin designs. Happy Christmas to you!
