Christmas Tree Show-Offs

I want to share my Christmas trees with you.  First is my "crystal and pearl" tree.  I started collecting antique chandilier prisms years ago... because I like shiny objects and am easily distracted by them! LOL. 





(can you tell I couldn't decide which one shot I liked best?)


See the rose tucked in the branches?  I keep that in the tree, up front, in memory of my father.

I have one other tree up and will post pictures later of the "Friendship Tree".   If you've posted pictures of your tree(s), I'd love to come by and visit and see them!    Sometime next week, I'll take you on a "holiday tour of my home and decorations.  Would you like to come back and visit?  I'd love to have you and would love to be invited to see yours.  We'll sip some (virtual) hot mulled cider and just gaze at the trees!  Fun, eh?

    Hello sweetie, you have one cute blog here! I just read the comment you posted on mine and had to venture on over to meet you. I am so happy that I did, just in time for the cider! Your tree is just beautiful...it reminds me of an old fashioned tree, simply nostolgic, just the way I love Christmas! I'll be back to poke around a little bit more, you have a blessed evening!
    Take care,
    Dee

    What a beautiful tree. What a great idea to share your trees and decorations around your house with us. Hopefully many of us will be showing our decorations throughout the season.

    Cheers.

    What a classy tree! I'm very easily distracted by shiny things, too :) That's a sweet notion using the flower to remind you of your father. It gives your tree so much more meaning!

    Your tree is beautiful. I may have to start looking for shiny vintage things to use on my tree, it's a great idea.

    Hi, Jeanette, your tree is just beautiful!! I love all the bling and shine you have. I've got some of those rose pinecones too that a friend from CA sent me a few years ago & I carefully keep them every year for CHrismtas.

    Thank you for stopping by with your Christmas cheer.
