And even though everything at my house is taken down, it is lovely to be able to still see your tree. Really. Quite. Lovely. Thank you. <br /><br />Daniel from across Town.

A couple of years ago I started doing the library Christmas tree as a "bird tree," festooning it with gilded pine cones and a variety of bird ornaments--porcelain, cloisonne, feather-over-styrofoam, felted wool, wood, and various natural materials. It's not quite so elegant as yours, however, and nor is it nearly so beautifully illuminated.<br /><br />The only drawback is that my three cats are neither as well-behaved as Pompey nor as intimidated by the birds, and I come down every morning to see a different one lying (intact, fortunately) under the tree. staircase witchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-66463921605274932812012-12-28T11:27:01.891-05:002012-12-28T11:27:01.891-05:00Hello Bonnie: Thanks -- feel free to adopt as many...Hello Bonnie: Thanks -- feel free to adopt as many ideas here as you like, I am pleased to inspire you.

We have, literally, thousands of Christmas ornaments, which Boy dips into for ornaments, depending on the year's theme, so yes we do use them again (and again). We store them in our basement in clear plastic ornament boxes, divided intocategories and colors (gold, green, pink, blue, silver, etc.). Needless to say, the basement is rather crowded!
