You know how when you play that first Christmas song of the season
and it snowballs into bringing out just a touch of Christmas…
and then a little more…
and then a little more…
Then maybe you find some beautiful new pieces or colors that inspire you
and before you know it- you are decking the halls with boughs of holly
and singing Fa la la la la as you decorate away.
Well, that is how it happens for me anyway.
Did you know that I usually have almost all of my Christmas decor up by Thanksgiving?
I do… and yes, I admit…
I have already been doing a little shopping for the holidays
singing a few Christmas carols
and doing a little decorating.
I might even have a couple of trees up already.
and
shhh… don’t tell anyone, but I am loving it.

This year,
I added a couple new pieces to bring some Christmas cheer into the house
and am sharing just a peek at them today.

I fell in love when I saw this beautiful huge majestic pine wreath
When I say huge, I mean huge. I hung it on the front door so you could get an idea of
how large it and vibrant and detailed it is.
I am in love.
I am also in big time love with this tree.
It is the Frosted Fraser Fir and I know, I am showing just a peek for now
and you want to see the whole tree… it’s coming soon.
and you want to see the whole tree… it’s coming soon.
But seriously, it has the perfect amount of flocking
and the perfect detail in those branches.
It looks absolutely amazing without even wearing all kinds of fancy ornaments and decorations.
Then there was that shabby pale color
(and sweet little face) that inspired me…
This faded blue peacock charmed me right away.
Right down to those pretty pearls.
I also found a few other things that could be out all year long
like these pretty sets of silver leaf look candle holders
I am loving the finish on them.
These all came from Balsam Hill and I can hardly wait to show
you just where each of them end up in my decor this season.
What about you have you started decking the halls yet?
Happy Friday everyone!

I am partnering with Balsam Hill to spread some Christmas cheer
and share these pieces with you but all opinions are my own.

Tease!!!! I was all ready to drown myself in in some Christmas décor. Today, my sister and I were just saying that were are so ready to put ours up! But no one else in the home is of the same thought. Looking forward to seeing your trees.

Already started some trees up and its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
Sherry @ No Minimalist Here says
Courtney, what a gorgeous tree! I have been looking for a flocked tree and this one looks perfect.
Courtney says
Sherry, it is truly my most favorite tree yet. I am actually thinking about ordering another one in a different size. Highly recommend it! 🙂
Debi says
Everything is looking stunning and gorgeous! Beautiful photo's!
Courtney says
Thank you!
Linda says
I love the tree! I noticed the reviews for other flocked trees from Balsam Hill noted how easily the "snow" came off. I love the look of this tree, but don't want to have flocking all over the floor and gifts. Hopefully they are using a better method and this one doesn't come off. Would appreciate your comments since you have it! Thank you! Love your blog, BTW!
Courtney says
Thank you Linda! Well, yes and no. The flocking does come off while setting up and fluffing the tree- but once it's up- I haven't noticed much flaking off. It is a different type of flocking- it is not heavy heavy flocking like some trees- it is more of a 'dusting' of snow that seems to be less chunky. I love it- and for me, having flocked trees are worth the mess so I would recommend it. 🙂 Hope that helps!
Linda says
Thanks, Courtney. I was so hoping you would say that! Thanks for sharing all your inspiring ideas!
