Here are some photos of my Christmas trees, nothing better to bring out the holiday spirit. I have twiggy green tree in the kitchen surrounded by my santa collection(at least some of it lol), a pink feather tree in the bedroom, an iridescent ivory tree in the living room and a green tree  in living room.  Enjoy!! Merry Christmas JoAnn

More photos






somehow all my pics didnt post with my last entry..here are the rest of the photos

some of the Christmas centerpieces or tree toppers I have been working on



I love to design these christmas hats to be used as centerpieces or tree toppers. I have a pink feather tree that i put the pastel hat on..it looks terrific. All of the putz cottages are vintage not new. These are for sale on etsy.
I also made some hot air balloon ornaments inspired by antique victorian ornaments...had so much fun making these.. finally some great glittered Eiffel Tower ornaments  I would love a tree covered with different Marie Antonette ornaments,  swans and Towers.
I have a silver tree, an ivory iridescent tree a regular green tree and the pink feather tree to decorate this year. I think my green tree will go on the kitchen table which i have covered with a vintage 50s christmas table cloth.  I am going to use my big bulbs for lite and cover it with my red santa clause collection.
The pink feather tree is on my dresser in the bedroom and I have used all pastel ornaments
The silver tree used on a draped table in the living room  will be covered with red,fushia ornaments
Have not decided on the ivory tree yet.  when all of these trees are decorated I will post pics.  This will be a busy week!!!  enjoy and hugs JoAnn
