OH CHRISTMAS TREE
Good Morning Prim Folk, Happy Friday to you all!!!!!! Mild cloudy day here and once again the wind she is a blowing. With the mild temperatures came a strong south wind and messy slushy roads.......... I put up the Christmas tree the other day, the house smelled like a Christmas tree lot, love the smell of pine. Had a little trouble with the lights, not unusual. Plugged them in before I placed around the tree, working, great!! Placed them on the tree, plug them in, turn on, below half string not working. Grrrrr!!! Decided to take a much needed coffee break then back at it.
Twisted a few lights around Ta Da!!!! they came on, so happy I did not have to go buy new lights. Not the best of trees but I really like to get a Charlie Brown type tree, little sparse here and there with the branches. I also like to decorate the tree with old Shiny Brite colored balls, hamdmades and keepsakes that were gifted to me, reminds me of the trees we had growing up. I still have some ornaments from my Childhood that I hang with wonderful memories every year........Wishing you a warm and cozy weekend, Blessings Francine.

I love your tree, I think it's beautiful. The little angel you have from your childhood is lovely, I have a little plastic yellow bird from when I was a child, my mom probably bought it from the dime-store. It's ancient and has one broke leg, but every year, up it goes on the tree and it just makes me feel so happy when I look at it on my tree. Are those sliding doors separating the rooms? Love that! and the little basket quilt on the sofa, it's just too cute! Wishing you a Merry Christmas :-)
ReplyDeleteVery precious tree! I love it. You are my 3rd blog friend to post about their Shiny Brites today. Love them!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your tree! Don't you just love the smell! I have a tree top in my son's room just to get some of that aroma, but it doesn't fit right in the stand. Thinking about throwing out and starting over. Your room is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your lovely tree and home throughout the year. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy & safe new year!

Hi, Francine, your tree is so pretty! I also love the basket quilt that I see. Did you make that?
ReplyDeleteLove it- reminds me of my childhood..we always had those shiny brights..they just don't make good ornaments anymore like that.
ReplyDeleteYou found a great tree! The best ones we've had were sparse trees we cut from our church's property.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

Francine...your tree is lovely! I had the same problem with the lights. Part of one strand just kept giving out and coming back on. Replacement bulbs did not work. My daughter and I ended up stringing 2 strands she had extra and covered up the space so we didn't have to take down that strand. Grrrr! The coffee break was something I should have done!!
ReplyDeleteWarmer weather coming here!

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you have your childhood Angel!
Charlie Brown trees are my favorite too.
Hi Francine! I think ornaments like the angel and the memories that go with it are what make Christmas all the more special and memorable! Your tree is lovely and perfect!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty tree! Love your splashes of red in that room:)
