Holiday Monkeys

These little monkeys are all dressed up for the holidays, though it's a little hard to see them against the wild patterns of the chair!

I took this photo at a high-end home decor shop I like to visit, especially during the holidays when they have all their Christmas decorations dispersed around the store.

Chartreuse Ornaments

I'm getting myself psyched up for my annual trek to the Christmas warehouse! 

Christmas Time Again

Another year has gone by and here we are again, getting ready for the holidays. Next weekend I will make my annual pilgrimage to the Christmas warehouse and photograph the designer trees they have on display...I can't wait!!

Wouldn't it be nice to have the space to store your ornaments like this? Decorating the tree would be a cinch!

I love the wrapping paper on these boxes. I think the green one is my favorite.

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 12

The final day of my series!

My own Christmas tree

My theme this year is purple

My Greyhound Pup

In memory of my Cocker Spaniel

Even though he's not purple, I love putting birds throughout my tree.
See the peacock peeking from behind? :)

And thus concludes my Christmas Tree decor series. I hope you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 11

My theme for day 11...well, perhaps it's the economy (I'll blame it on that) but my little Christmas warehouse didn't have enough trees for twelve features. So, today I'm going to show you some of the decorating ideas they had around the store.

 A family tree!

I love this footstool. It looks like it belongs in an English library, complete with wooden walls and ceilings, paintings of hunting scenes, and leather bound books on the shelves.

I'm doing a little series featuring a different Christmas tree or holiday decor for a period of 12 days. There's a little holiday shop nearby which is a favorite haunt of mine during this time of year. They have multitudes of fabulous decorator trees, done up in different themes. I brought my camera along to show you all the great ideas. Stay tuned for the next installment, the final day 12, where I will have my own tree featured.

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 10

I'm going to stay with the candy theme, as a continuation from Day 9. Here are some cute candy-themed decorations...not exactly a Christmas tree, but Christmas decor, nonetheless!

I had to take this little elf's picture. He reminds me of a boy I knew in elementary school named Kevin!

 I only took two pictures of this designer tree, so I'll show you another tree I saw using the same theme...

 This one has a ginormous octopus as the tree topper!
