Didn't really do much decorating this year.
Just a touch of this and a touch of that.
I've found that a compote is the best way
to display a little of this and that.
This ceramic tree sat atop my parents
TV for as many years as I can remember.
Before the estate sale, we could not find
the base to the tree.
I wanted it anyway.
Later when selling the house,
we found it in a closet.
This is one of my most treasured possessions.
The ball jars with a strip of burlap
tied in a knot and entwined with berries from a spray
were used originally as tea lights.
I later added fresh clippings of evergreen
and added to my rustic faux mantel.
I brought the massive tool box home
and used it for a while.
Then changed it back to my original design,
adding the greenery and balls.
Waiting for my GRANDbaby to come to GA tomorrow.
My Christmas with then be Merry,
Bonnie:)
...a kiss for luck and we're on our way! I couldn't help myself when I saw the title of your blog. Loved the Carpenters and that song. Now, I love the ceramic tree and what sweet memories it holds for you. I've always wanted one. Lovely Christmas touches. Thank you for popping in to see me and I hope you'll come back sometimes.

I like that ceramic tree. There is always something special about what our parents have that we can keep for keeps.
