Test Title 1



trimming the tree: cranberries + popcorn

we found the sweetest pine on sunday afternoon. perfect for our itsy apartment. unlike last year, this gal is a lean machine - incredibly health and slim (enough that we can still open our living room closet - hooray!). we've been little by little trimming the tree over the past 3 days. 1 part busy busy december + 2 parts picky picky me.


by now you've probably picked up that wade and i are old @ heart. we're not modern nor trendy 1960s vintage ... rather 1860s primitive. and our christmas tree patterns that precisely ... glowing w/ white lights and draped w/ vintage lace and gold beads.

and this year another classic: cranberry + popcorn garland.


a wee bit of a task (poor husband and his many tangles) ...


but definitely worth it in the end ...


what's your christmas tree style?

------------------------

our newest munday family tradition (borrowed from my sister and her husband):

instead of silly souvenir t-shirts or shot glasses from family trips, collect an ornament! this is our ornament from hawaii - a sweet little sea urchin <--- and currently the only ornament we've hung.

time to get busy!

very pretty and so you! I love the new ornament so so much. My Christmas tree style spawns from my childhood trees... Colorful, fun, big 40's style bulbs, some might call it tacky, I call it home.

Merry Christmas!

So cute! Love the lace and the popcorn cranberry garland. Fun contrast! I love that you can decorate with with things like popcorn and its super cool these days!

We do the EXACT same thing. 10ish popcorns and a cranberry. I agree, SO worth it. And the birds love it later. :) I also have given my stepkids a new ornament each year, just like my mom did for us. Now, my ornaments from childhood hang on my tree. One day my kids' ornaments will hang on their trees. :)

Awe, we used to string popcorn and cranberries when I was younger- love it! The lace is so so pretty, too.

Love your blog... the other day I followed your DIY burlap stocking directions to make my own. They look so so adorable. Thank you for sharing!!
