Christmas Decorations= Kryptonite.
I don’t often decorate for the holidays because I don’t enjoy clutter around the house, and I don’t have much storage. But when Christmas rolls around, I just can’t help it. It is tradition for me to buy cart-loads of decorations on the day after Christmas, then store them away. The following Christmas becomes an exploration and rediscovery of all the things I purchased and forgot about.
This year I decided to work the orange into the holiday decorating as well. I think orange looks GREAT with the tree. I also snagged some feather angel wings from Pier1, and I LOVE how they look on the tree. I’ll definitely buy more when they go on sale after Christmas.
My husband and I like to go to the same Christmas lot every year and go to the discount section. There we find a funny-looking, kinda scrawny, really short, and loveable tree. We love having a reject tree fulfill it’s Christmas Wish in our home.
I also got some tree branches with little flecks of fake snow on them, and tied them to our new chandelier using orange vintage-looking ribbon. I’m going to so sad when it’s time to take this off!
Next year’s additons that I’ll be looking for after Christmas this year: tinsel, mercury glass pinecones, and a pointed tree-skirt.

The decorations look awesome! I can’t wait to see them in person!
The branches look great on the chandelier! I have the same one… I may have to try something like that next year.
I love those sheer, printed curtains you have (behind the tree). Where were those from?
@ Making it Lovely – I am so in love with the branches on the chandelier… I haven’t taken them down yet. I grabbed those at Michaels. The printed curtains are from Target, and they were from their dorm line. They are actually ‘coverlets’ … something you can drape over a bed or a couch, but I attached curtain hooks to hang them.
Just clicked over here from your angel wings post and I LOVE the branches- what a great idea!
