I like that. Never saw one of those before. Is it a metal cage that you decorate?

DD,
Thanks. No, its a gold colored twig tree, again from Pier-1. It has wires and beads on it. Not sure if it was meant to be decorated with ornaments but when I know I am not going to be in town to keep a fresh tree looking good, I end up putting up my ornaments on this one. :)

I'm leaning toward the more simple as I get older, just don't have the energy to put up & take down big trees anymore.

I think simple is still very pretty & this tree is very pretty, like how you raised this one up off the floor!

Mo,

I have come back to look at this tree several times today (waiting on people...) and I really really like it! I've seen those twig trees several times and always kept myself from buying one because I had no idea what on earth to do with it. By themselves, they would just get lost in the other decorations. BUT.....I can see this in a graduated grouping of three.....crud, my end-of-season shopping list just keeps growing!

Love it!

Alex

Ooooo. I really like it. I might have to do one like it. May I copy you??????

Thanks Alex. You are right - a set of three would look much better. I didnt think of that! It wont even need extra storage if they fit into one another.

OA, I am extremely flattered to be even asked such a question! :)

Mo

Thanks. I am going to have to look at them next visit. I probably didn't see it because I try so hard to stay out of the Christmas section and some days it is harder than others.

This is sooo funny...dh and I were at Pier 1 tonight and he pointed out that exact tree to me!! No he didn't buy me one but he knows what I like!!! I really like what you have done with it.

Oh Shoot - I was in a shopping center with a Pier 1 just today and didn't go into it - probably a good thing - I love that look - very simply stated. I love the fact that you kept all the ornaments one color - very nice ....

Mo,
I came back to look more closely at your tree. Remember, I want to make one like it. (Glad to receive permission, although I know I would have shamelessly stolen the idea had you not replied!)
At any rate, I think you should try using a larger base. Larger in diameter, not height. Maybe you won't like it, but try it.
OA

How unusual. I've never seen one like that before. Do they have silver?

I think it's a very pretty accent tree. I love red, but usually all-red trees are kind of overwhelming. This one is just the right size for that. And of course, I love twigs!

Mo, I like the different sizes and shapes of ornaments you used on it. I can see where the lights would be a bit distracting if it were right next to the television, good that you were able to find another location for it to keep your DH happy. ;o) Luvs

Mo..I like that very much..it's very different. I was at the Christmas Tree Shop a couple of wks ago, and they had them there, in different sizes. I had so much stuff, that I passed it up...now I'm thinking, after seeing yours, how sorry I am.

That's a neat tree, Mo. And I like the one-color scheme on it. That's perfect IMO. I also like Alex's idea of a grouping of three of these in different sizes. I can just "see" it in my head now. So guess I better stay away from Pier 1 if I know what's good for me. LOL.
(I need a bigger house, or at least a bigger storeroom! Tho knowing me, I could make a Castle look crowded)

hugs, Karen

Thanks for all the kind words!! Betty, I dont know if they have it in silver. In fact, I didnt know they still had this one until bright's comment. I bought this one a couple of years ago.

Slinkey, I bet they are cheaper at the Christmas Tree Shop than Pier1!! :)

OA, you are right. I wanted a bigger diameter table for this atleast for safety. I should try hacking a larger diameter on this table because the other side tables I have are a little too big for it so I left it at this.

Karen, So true about storage. Now, my dishes have officially overflowed into non-dish cabinets! Yikes!!

Thanks Lynne. Pier 1 usually has nice non traditional christmas things so I try to go there the day after christmas! LOL... the blue tree in the other post, I got at about 90% off a couple of years ago.

Mo

Mo, Oh, I really like this tree. It is so unusual looking. And I love the bucket of ornies sitting beside it.

Blush, blush.....Mo, I copied your idea and it turned out absolutely amazing!!!!!! I'm guessing that your tree is about 4'.... I hit Garden Ridge today and was able to get a 3', 2' and 1' for $30 for the set... Thank you Thank you Thank you.....brilliant!

Alex

Thanks Sandi!! Btw, did you get your candy cane table done?

Alex, thats great! Looking forward to more pics from you then! Having seen your other trees, I am sure you will make it look amazing.
