1. Art nouveau tree? Pray tell me more.
How are you decorating it?

Please see my thread for the description of my unusual tree:

And it sounds like you just might be the person to lend me a suggestion or two on decorations. :hi:

2. You're tree sounds lovely, Maddy
And nice aromas too with all the citrus..

You might want to put out oranges studded with cloves.

I went wild at Michael's a few years ago. Liking the sugared fruit look, I got a ton of frosted apples, pears, and peaches. And they also had these clear acrylic decorations that look like bunches of grapes. They came in kinda muted green, peach, and smoky colors. So I got those. For lights, I got these little white, pearl, and gold globes.

It makes a very pretty warm glow about the room and the decoractions reflect light very well.

7. ooh
I was thinking about going to Michael's today! I love making wreaths from all the components they have there. Your tree sounds really cool.

We won't put ours up til next week, I have a lot of ornaments from around the world, I like an eclectic tree.

4. I just got home from the gym.
So, I'll probably relax for a while, maybe clean house a bit, oh, and watch football. :D

8. Tree is up, but I have to decorate the inside of the house.
And finish the outside. I put those little trees with white lights in the yard and this year, I bought one of those blow up snow globes with the snowmen in it. My littlest one loves it.
