Yaaay! I am finally almost through with my Christmas decorations and I think they are my favorite…ever! Sooo…today I want to show you my little tabletop Christmas tree! I stopped doing a big tree several years ago and do lots of special little trees instead.
My co-host today is Miss Kitty who has been working in the background to clean up and put away all the Christmas mess that we made! Thanks, Kitty! 
This is the largest of the mini trees around my house and it has a place of honor…on my great-grandfather’s little table. I open up the leaves and use it behind one of the love seats.
I love it…so festive! I have kept the theme to mostly bright red ornaments and silvery snowflakes. 
And you may have noticed that the ornaments are actually cardinals…one of my favorite birds. I have a pair that visits my backyard bird feeder all year long! 
One one side of the tree is a lantern holding a tiny tree and a gift…wrapped in Kraft paper and tied with a plaid ribbon….reflecting my burlap and tartan plaid theme this year.
On the other side…one of my favorite Goodwill finds ever…a vintage French wire egg basket! It’s the real deal, with handles worn to a fabulous patina from years of use….and for under $2.00! Woo hoo! I have filled it with my collection of old-fashioned Christmas cookie cutters and Swedish tart tins and tied it with another plaid bow.
Below the table is a basket filled with more Kraft paper and plaid packages. I have hung a frosted candle ring as a wreath from one of the knobs. And speaking of patina…don’t you just love the look of antique wood?
And there you have it…the first of the mini trees that I will be showing you! I love the way it looks with my burlap and plaid mantel that you see in the background! Come back for another visit and I will show you more of my little Christmas trees…so fun and festive! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my Christmas mantel!
