OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Last week, Jennifer at The Pink Pagoda kindly highlighted my Christmas tree. Here are a few shapshots, and be sure to click over and see the full post, and as well as an abundance of other TPP holiday decorating ideas.

The theme was Chinoiserie meets Tony Duquette - thus the sunburst topper and ornaments, and "coral" accents behind the plates.

I didn't realize until I looked at photographs from 2011 that this tree was MUCH bigger than last year. It's a table top tree in the fullest sense:  it takes up the entire table. But, I had to have enough room for all my fun ornaments, especially since I keep finding more, and in the most unusual places. I discovered these fine fellows for sale at the Warner Theater, when I went to see Septime Weber's The Nutcracker (they are of course, from the Tea Dance).

A close up of some "coral" - also known, at the Hobby Lobby, as "glitter branches."

You can see the rest of my holiday decor HERE - including some tips for bringing Christmas cheer to small spaces. Hope your holiday decorating has been fun!
