We larn our Christmas tree every yr from the local garden store a few blocks away from us, Figaro's Garden.

My boy Teddy wanted a "dinosaur star" this yr as well as thus nosotros cutting out a dinosaur together as well as he drew on it. We attached it to a wooden skewer as well as tied it onto the top! The H2O ice cream cone lite as well as vintage populace lite are usage of the whole bundle for me, besides - I dear the soft cozy lite it adds, as well as reflects our trend - a piffling flake of vintage, a piffling flake of comedy, a piffling haphazard!

The french fries was a surprise acquaint from sweetness Kelly from Studio DIY, who did a BONKERS all-french-fries tree this yr which I loved. It makes me grin whenever I run across it on our tree as well as is the most talked nearly ornament. The vintage Christmas photograph was from my husband's belatedly grandfather's collection, a dainty way to contain our ancestors - I hole-punched it as well as added string = 2nd ornamentation amongst meaning! The piffling soft grayness COMMONFOLK acquit was a acquaint from Miko of Coral as well as Cloud, as well as he sits perched inward the tree, too! The pinkish baubles are vintage as well as the gingerbread letters I made. The letterpress ornaments are from Banquet.
