My tree and a bit of decorating

Today I am linking up with the Nester, Thrifty decor chick, Rhoda's home for the holidays tour and Funky Junk Interiors Be sure and stop by these places to see all the lovely decorating and all of the homes on the tours. I am sharing a bit of my Christmas decorating with you. I have much more I will add later.
Here is a peek at my "imperfect" purchased sight unseen tree. You can read about that here



















I am a Starbucks Junkie, so it is only fitting to have a "Starbucks" tree :)

    Hi Debbie, I love all of your beautiful decorations. Sweet, every last one of them. Speaking of last, your post is at the very bottom of the list. I go look for you because that is where I know you are. I am not sure what is going on but I bet others can't find you to see all your great decor:) Some time back other bloggers had a similar problem and it was fixed by making sure your own blog was listed in your blogs you follow. I will look for the fix and send it to you! Have a blessed evening!

    oh Debbie! It's all so gorgeous!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw the snowman hanging. I used to make those very same snowmen when I did craft shows (years ago)! Did you make that one? Ya know, as I was posting the pictures, and showed the one picture with my nutcrackers, I kept thinking about you and how embarrased I'd be when you saw it. You did such a wonderful job of placing objects, and all I did was put them up on the shelf! LOL No holy, no greenery, nothin'... that's why I'm not the designer, eh?

    Thank you for the sweet comments when you dropped by my Christmas tour of home participation in the party!

    Hey --
    Love the Decor I mean the Tree.

    I hadn't been by for awhile. I have been having so many Google issues. I think I have talked to the Google guy-online more than my own hubby.
    Whenever you go over to my blog can you see if you are still subscribed. Followers are not getting my posts in their reader and Google lost hundreds of my subscribers off my list.
    Thanks
    Cheri

    I think the tree looks lovely. There is something special about imperfect trees...I used to spend hours at the tree lot looking for a perfect one, now I/we just pick and make it perfect with our ornaments. Your home looks cozy and spirited.
    Cheers!

    Such marvelously lovely holiday decor, Debbie. I love the rich crimson hues woven through out your pieces, that is one of my favourite colours (all year round), too.

    Wishing you a majestically beautiful Christmas, sweet friend!
