Hall Tree Christmas Make Over

I love this hall tree. Mostly because I found it at a yard sale for $25.00. It's not an antique, but that's OK too. This is the way it's decorated most of the year, nice and simple.

I thought I'd jazz it up this Christmas. I actually cut out and painted the angel standing on the seat several years ago.

Then all I did was go through my stash of scrapbook supplies to make a letter garland.

And finally some 99 Cent Store twinkle lites.

The First Noel

This is the nativity set I grew up with as a child. My mother always placed it on top of the large console tv in the living room. It never feels like Christmas to me unless I display it each year. It shows a little wear and tear since it's very vintage, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
