Hello Blogland!!! How is everyone doing this week?? It's gotten freakin' COLD here. It's crazy--we go from days when the high is in the 70's to days when the high is in the 30's. IN THE SAME WEEK!!! UGH!!!
I found a tree stand so I was able to stand the new (fresh from the curbside)white tree up. Ain't she a BEAUTY??
Here's a close-up so you can see the opalescent colors and needle texture:
Here's a view of the corner of the basement where my Christmas hoard lives. About half the stuff has been moved out to be re-lighted(I'm re-doing the trees with LED lights)and inventoried. Do I need an intervention??
The new white tree is going in the master bedroom and will be done in pastels. I've been busy going through my stash and making new ornaments for it. I have quite a few vintage pastel glass balls that will also go on the tree. Here's a peek at what I've made so far:

I had a bunch of old reflectors for bulbs that do not fit any of my lights. I also found some glitter balls I had hoarded. A bit of hot glue and a pipe cleaner to attach to the tree and Wah-Lah!!! Flowers!!!

I'm going to give you a sneak peak of something else I'm working on. What do you think this pile of stuff will become??? I'll reveal it on Sunday!!!

SpyGirl 52 Pick-Me-Up is Color Friends- colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. . Which I totally skipped by to trend salad theme. DUH!!! I did wear color friends recently. I love anything blue and green and in between!!
The tshirt is Denim and Co., the sweater is a green & blue tweed from Preswick & Moore, the pants are Gloria Vanderbilt, the shoes Clarks and it's all thrifted!!!
This month's
Mis Papelico's Share in Style theme is plaid. As a Scottish gal I bleed plaid!!! I found this Coldwater Creeek buffalo plaid sweater for $3 recently. It's a nice cotton knit and super comfy. I'm wearing it with thrifted jeans I made into stirrup pants and my thrifted cowboy boots! i feel like a cowboy lumberjack!!
I'm hoping to get to a couple of Christmas bazaars this Saturday. I REALLY need more Christmas stuff!!!
