a vintage Christmas tree


Are you finished with your 
Christmas decorating?

Today I'm sharing the little Christmas 
tree we have in the foyer.
 

It is one of my favorites.
I love the look of it in the toile bucket.


This tree has a past with special memories.
We purchased it for our daughters to use in college;
it has flown back and forth from home, and
the box still carries airline baggage tags.
It was a dorm tree and still has some 
of the pink college tinsel.
 

I love over-decorating this one 
with lots of vintage ornaments.




It's hard to believe Christmas is here.
It seems to have crept up on me this year.
I must get out and finish the Christmas shopping.
Hope you're enjoying your 
Christmas season so far!
Merry Christmas!
~ Julie

  4. I can't believe it!!! I am able to comment today. I had to go to the top of the page and click on the title of this post for it to let me, but that is exciting.
    I love your little traveling tree Julie. It looks beautiful decked out in your vintage ornaments.
    Oh I loved that chandelier you prettied up too.
    I will be thinking of you having your Christmas so close to my own. Just two and a half hours away. My daughter coming from Boise and you traveling to Meridian to have Christmas with yours. Have a wonderful time in Idaho Julie.
    hugs...
