The decorating isn't done by any stretch, although if anybody walked through the door, I'm sure they'd think there were more than enough decorations. The big tree is up in the living room, and this year we have a little tree in the dining room.
This is next to the Hoosier, which isn't decorated. (And really wouldn't have to be decorated, because it's got a little tree next to it, but it will be.) The little tree is reserved for pixies and striped Shiny Brite balls and bells.
No lights, just the garland I made the other day, and sun coming through the window to make it sparkle.
And a little band of musical elves at the base.
I could dream of this tree! Do you have these dreams? You walk down the street and you see such a decorated tree standing in a container and you just have to pick it up. (but you have to go to the dentist first, or someone who has to be up earlier yells: where is that blue shirt?...)
The object of my desires can change, but the end is always the same alas! Here at the thriftstore they had a special showcase filled with vintage Christmas ornaments and figurines, starting at a whopping 2 euros (3 usd) a piece! The figurines at 3,50 (5,25 usd). I think I was the only one who bought 2 pieces out of that showcase (to support the good cause of course!)

You have inspired me to do a little tree with my striped Shiny Brites!! I love the striped ones so much, and usually they are on the big tree. I only wish I had the little elves and such to add. Because yours looks beautiful.
Hopefully I really will do it.
Hmmm, now where to put this one.........
