After seeing this photo on Pinterest, I KNEW just how I wanted to display those beautiful ornaments from my childhood. I just thought I would have to wait a couple of years before we could afford a new tree.
I just happened to find a great sale on a 4ft. pre-lit tree (just over $17 including sales tax) and couldn't pass up the deal! After Grace went to bed, I dug out the two boxes of vintage treasures and set out to decorate my new little tree!
I finally went to bed at 3:30am. Tired but extremely pleased with myself and my adorable new tree (shown below).
Grace woke at 4:30 and Joe took her to the kitchen to get some milk. Apparently,
When I got up with Grace later in the morning, I came out to find my tree missing! I thought for sure the Grinch had stolen my sweet little tree! After a quick peek into the garage, I found my tree safely hiding in the garage until we can find something taller to place the tree on...away from curious little hands.
In addition to finding a safe spot for the tree, I also need to learn how to take better photos of the lit tree. (the top photo was with the flash on, the bottom with the flash off)
