Our little tree is finally decorated!
Just a few minutes before family
arrives for an early Christmas!
We love what we call a "Charlie Brown" tree.
It's a Western Douglas Fir .
There is only one place here in Omaha that
we can get them. Our choices this year
12' or 5'.
With time, energy & ceiling height
at an all time low...
the 5' tree came home with us!
I have collected vintage, glass ornaments since before
I got married. I just LOVE them!
With company arriving soon I didn't have time
to hang them all, nor would this little tree hold them all.
So, I piled them in an antique Oshkosh suitcase
along with a Dan DiPaolo snowman.
He looks like he's helping to decorate the tree.
This maybe the only decorating I get done
for the holidays. And that's o.k.
I will enjoy our simple, little Charlie Brown
tree and the sparkle from it's branches.
Your tree is absolutely beautiful!! I just bought 36 vintage ornaments off of Ebay, they arrived yesterday. I couldn't be more excited, they brought back so many special memories for me as I am sure they do for you. Love these two gorgeous photos. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! ~Sarah~

ReplyDeleteYour tree is beautiful! I have collected old glass ornaments for years and have some of the same ones you do. I love the ornaments in the suitcase with the snowman - it does look like he's helping decorate the tree - just adorable!
