The Christmas Tree: Pages and Peacocks

Wow! How is it already only NINE days until Christmas! I thought I was so on top of things when I got my shopping done before Dec. 1, so I could enjoy the rest of the season. I guess I have been enjoying a little more free time than usual, but now I have to get it together and wrap everything, make all kinds of goodies, and do all the other things that come along with this beautiful but crazy time of year.

Last time I was here, I put together my Christmas tree inspiration. And this is what I came up with:

And now, at night . . .

After having a very neutral tree for the last couple of years, we were all ready for some color. I know its hard to see in the nighttime photo, but the peacock blue, lime green and gold are great together. The pennant banners are book pages that I just sewed together.

 

Easy peasy! My tree's been up for a while now, but I waited for pictures until I had the faux fireplace and mantel done. I'm sure you spied those in the background. I'm hoping to detail that project along with my book page wreath later this week.

 



For me, Christmas is all in the details. I have little touches all throughout our home and they make me so happy. Maybe a little Christmas tour is in order if I can manage it in between all the impending wrapping and baking. ;)
