Popular + Affordable Flocked Christmas Trees
Even if you are a decorate-after-Thanksgiving type, now is the perfect time to get your Christmas tree plan in place. Today we’ve got four great flocked trees to share with you in all price ranges.
Our primary tree used to be a fresh tree that we would get from a local lot, but in recent years we’ve made the switch to the gorgeous flocked, snow covered looking trees, I just think they look so pretty when all decorated.
In addition to our fresh (real) tree, I also had a second (very inexpensive) tree that I used as a kids’ tree in their playroom when they were little, then later I put it in our front dining room window because I thought it looked beautiful all lit up from the outside.
Then, a few years ago I decided I really loved the look of a flocked tree and looked everywhere for the best value (in other words, the cheapest I could find!) that still looked lovely. I settled on this one (it is shown in the first picture at the top of this post) and we liked it so much we stopped getting a regular, fresh tree and have decorated it as our main family room tree for the last few years.

Our Thanksgiving Table (for Four)
It's just a little over two weeks until Thanksgiving (what?!) and unlike most years, we're going to be guests rather than hosting a big group at our house. Part of the reason is that we're still living in our temporary rental cottage, and while it's darling, the dining room only seats … [Read More...]
My Favorite Fall Puffer Vests – On Sale!
So, I have always loved vests. Part of the reason is because we are in the south and often a vest can get me through an entire winter (no overcoat needed), and part of the reason is that I love to layer and a vest is obviously perfect for that purpose. I've spent quite a few hours … [Read More...]
