…and this is how much 8′ trees cost in Los Angeles. We also paid $10 extra for them to slap on a stand. So even though they slashed the price, we ended up paying the original $129.
We found the perfect tree but it was a bit too big at the bottom.
…so, I actually “trimmed the tree”.
…and used the clippings for door decorations and sporadically placed vases full of branches around the house. Mmmmm…smells Christmassy.
…the beginning touches …the tree fits much better now.
…my new “M” ornament from the lovely and talented Shill …Thank you I love it!
…I went with white lights and pink lights and decided to do the entire tree in pink and white with silver and gold touches and a few lime greens in between.
…and I placed the cutest little crocheted turtle ever that Tiffany made {and I won!} on the tree branches because it fits perfectly and I love it so much!
I just love the way it turned out. But I’m thinking I need to go to my mom’s and steal all my pink ornaments from when I was a kid. I’m particularly thinking of a little white bird cage with pink birds and ribbons that my friend Rebecca gave me years ago in grade school. I’m sure my mom will cave too 🙂
{Now I just need to get to shopping for gifts because I have barely begun …eeek!}

Just bought my roommates and myself a tiny little tree for our apartment (yay!), so it’s exciting to see other people are doing things in the same spirit of the holidays! I LOVE the colors, GREAT choice! 😀
Mrs.D
HOLY MOLY! $129!?!?!? Trees are like $25 here in BFE. It IS a beauty, though. A very pretty one. And good thinking with the extra branches, great decorations.
AndreaLeigh
See, I’m trashy and just use a artificial tree each year. I’ve actually never had a real tree, even as a kid. I had no idea they were so expensive!
...love Maegan
Not trashy! Probably better for the environment. Also, I’m sure if my husband didn’t insist on going to the closest tree lot to us {which also seems to be the most expensive} we would probably pay half what we did. But I do love the way the branches look and the short needles.
Nicole Marie

your dawgs are too cute!! We always get a Charlie Brown looking tree bc nothing else fits in this place! I love yours! last year I finally saved our tree stand bc I was sick of getting a new one every year! the tree guy on our corner will be disappointed but my husband is happy that I’ve finally saved the damn thing instead of getting rid of it in a fit bc I can’t find the space for it.

You should definetly go get your childhood ornaments! I wrote an entire Christmas post about the fact that my husband actually came with his own ornaments. One big, fat, marriage bonus being married to this guy. Loved your tree and decor and really enjoy your blog. Man are you blunt. I love it!
