I went pretty simple on the tree this year..I have birdies and houses throughout ( $1 at Joanns, I just painted/glittered them ) This is the cheapest 8ft noble we've ever got our hands on, paying $40 ( we always pay between $75-90, yikes, I know ) I bought a $3 can of snow spray and lightly flocked it. My only advice for this is to go HEAVIER than you think on it, because it DOES melt a bit and thin out.
I wish I did more. But oh well.
The tree isnt totally complete, I think I'll still add red ribbon to it.
The stockings have Pottery Barn Initial wine charms on them, it was actually cheaper to buy them than to make them.

Well thank you Lindsey. I can reassure you that 5 minutes later it didnt look this clean :) Actually, 5 minutes before that, it looked hideous :)
Beautiful! Did you get those three birds (2nd to last picture) at JoAnn's too? I love them!
Your house is decorated beautifully. The tree is so gorgeous on its own that it doesn't need a lot of ornaments or glitz. When a tree is naturally that pretty, I believe less is more. As usual, you've done a stellar job. Congrats.
thanks all. the birds were from a sample sale, not sold in stores yet :(
You are really getting amazing with the camera. I love the mirror one with the colored-light tree reflecting in it
So pretty!
Next time check out Ames Tree Farm in Olympia - $25 for Nobles, any size.
Beautiful! I love the garlands and the lights in the rafters. I also love how you used the one color for that elegant look.
I also love the yet to be released birdies. Adorable!
