The kitchen trees

Ain’t he caaaute?! For years I’ve wanted a fun little Christmas tree for the kitchen, and a couple years ago I found an itty bitty tree that I fell in LOVE with. I got it for about $12, which is more than I would normally pay, but it is so real looking, I couldn’t resist: I found itty bitty ornaments for the itty bitty tree, and this year I painted the plain pot red to make it a bit more

Oh Christmas Tree!















This weekend we are going to get our Christmas tree. We have chopped them down at a tree farm in the past but this year we will go to our local nursery. I love a fraser fir because of its sturdy branches and it retains its needles for a few weeks. Our living room has 12' ceilings, so a 9' tree would be perfect.
