Move Over Shiny Brites. The White Tree is Going UP.

I had decided that this would be a low-key year for decorating.

 

My middle room is usually freshly cleaned and decorated

by the first week in December.

 

This year it is covered in wrapping paper, boxes,

and gifts that are yet to be wrapped and under my tree.

Clutter, clutter, clutter.

UGH!

 

My pink room is my favorite.

A small green tree usually holds the Barbie ornaments

and ballerina ornaments that my daughter got each Christmas.

 

I'd decided that I would pull out my milk glass which holds

my pink Shiny Brite ornaments all year long

and that would be the extent of my decorating.

 

 

Have I said that I just love my pink room???

 

 

These are old photos and I'm sure you've already seen them

but I just love looking at my white hobnail milk glass.

It makes me smile.

 

What was I talking about..

(My love for milk glass will get me off the subject in a flash!)

 

Oh, yeah...

decorating.

 

Well, I've always wanted a white tree and I found a 6'5 one that had been reduced at Walmart.

I'll have to say I've been a bit disappointed in Walmart this year.

But tonight while I was browsing, I spotted this GREAT tub of

Powder Pink, Glittery White, and Minty Green ornaments.

I was instantly in love.

 

I walked all over the store trying to talk myself out of that white tree

and those perfectly pastel ornaments.

 

Excuses, excuses, excuses

 

My room is so small.

 

The tree is too large.

 

My husband would kill me.

 

 More ornaments needed to fill the tree.

 

No time now that I'm working.

 

My husband is going to kill me.

 

I'd have to move the chair or the cedar chest.

 

....ahhhh...that's an idea.

During the holidays we always need extra seating.

I could use the chest as a bench.

 

The tree and ornaments were put in and taken out of my buggy

three different times.

 

Does anyone else do that???

 

And I just could stand it no longer-

I bought the tree.

 

The Shiny Brites will probably remain in the milk glass,

But the tree is GOING UP...

 

Tomorrow.

 

Stay Tuned,
