I thought I'd get in in a few more pictures of my Christmas decorating while I can.
I don't take pictures of my bookcase for some reason, not sure why. But here it is, I keep these two picnic baskets on top year 'round. These are actually the ones we used on many family outings and vacations as I grew up. These baskets traveled from San Francisco to San Diego, from the beach to Nevada, and all over California. They're very special to me.
I also decorated a very small tree and a medium tree in addition to the regular one. This small one sits next to the couch and is from GW. It's actually plastic and was only 3 dollars. It came with the sparkly stuff on the branches.
All I did was add some dollar store ornaments and I added the "snow" around it's base.
Here is the medium tree, I found at Country Roads in Orange for only 12 dollars a couple of years ago.
It fits perfectly on the hall tree in the kitchen.
This is the first year I've used dried hydrangea blooms on a tree, I think I really like it!
The made the ornaments on it last year.
I decorated this box a few Christmases ago too. The picture is from the Graphics Fairy.
I hope you all have very blessed Christmas!

Hi Mary, your trees are wonderful, the addition of dried hydrangea on the hall stand tree worked so well. I will have to try that (future). You too and your family, have a blessed Christmas.

Mary I just love that tree, and I especially love where you put it on the Hall tree. I love using dried hydrangeas as a natural element, and they fit right in with your tree. Thanks for hosting and letting us showcase our homes and projects. Merry Christmas, xxoo Barb
