Tree Week: A Modern Version For Under $10!

It's tree week!

With the holiday decorating in full swing, I am obsessing a little over trees.

These are my favourite sort of trees at the moment.

Today I will be skulking (even the word sounds fun, really :)

around the woods behind my place to find some large branches...

Sparkle.

Color.

Simplified color. 

I sort of love this for Christmas.

Let's just skip the baubles..

but I'd like something a bit more tactile,

 and voila-

the winner!

There's nothing quite like wool knits for the winter - mittens, sweaters, throws, pillows

I'm a yarn junkie :)

Can't wait to get them made!

And a few of these to decorate the presents -

we made those last year as well.

Am working on the finishing bits for the chandelier today,

 so I will post pics of the branches and that shortly, hope you can stop by.

Just wanted to share a bit of good news and a HUGE thank you before I go -

 I won two giveaways on Monday :)

The first from Natalie at The Daily Imprint,

was for these adorable holiday decorations, 

generously gifted by the talented women of Polli:

Natalie is a Deputy Editor on Real Living Magazine, and it shows in her writing :)

She features fresh, insightful interviews with interesting creative minds frequently on her blog.

Stop by, you'll enjoy it.

The second giveaway, from the charming Jennifer at Rambling Renovators,

was a pair of tix for The One of A Kind Christmas Show & Sale.

Will be heading down there this Sunday :)

Their blog follows Jennifer, husband and daughter Chloe (great name :)

as the super-talented couple renovate their home in Toronto.

There's heaps of great DIY and beautiful design - it's one of my favourite reads.

Thank you so much, ladies.

You made my week!

til next time..
