meet doug, our winter solstice tree
the kids took turns sawing through doug's trunk
then the guys towed him back to the car for the trip home
i couldn't wait to use the vintage glass mushroom ornaments that i thrifted over the summer
p.s. after we got doug all decked out, he fell over and i did indeed hear it. fortunately we only lost one ornament. the car ride must have made him whoozy ;)
now that we have a tree, i can go back to making and gathering a bunch of good stuff to bring up the hill. crimson & clover on the road again...

Is okay if I call him Dougie? Cuz he's pretty cute like that.
love those 'shrooms.. lucky find!! poor dougy
car rides make me whoozy too.
awwww, festive and frisky, falling over like that! sounds like a hell of a guy.
can't wait to see you at the bizarre!
oooh! love the mushroom ornaments!
We totally had a tree fall over one year. It was my cat's fault though. Those little mushroom ornaments are awesome! So cute! I love mushies. At least there was only one ornament casualty.
I love that you name your tree! I'm a bit jealous, a) because I've never had a "real" Christmas tree and b) because we don't even have a plastic one this year...okay okay mostly it's because we fly to our home town in like 5 days but still! Yes, I am that obnoxious person who really get into the Christmas/Solstice (though summer solstice in our case) spirit.
WE have a fake tree this year, it is a black one. We have uncoordinated baubles...Doug looks precious, and i feel lazy for not having a real one.
aw i love doug your christmas tree. those mushroom lights and ornaments are perfect! happy holidays :)
peace & love
hehehe. i like doug! we got ours on friday. he was sober :D
K's hat is awesome! I love this little tale I gotta say. I wish we could go cut our own tree in a lot like this...
Those ornaments!
I'm so excited to see you on Sunday Nicole!!
Doug! What a perfect name, is he a Douglas fir perchance? Love your mushroom ornaments and are those sparkly Cost Plus stars I spy? We have them too ;)
I keep expecting to hear the sound of our tree falling at any moment. The way the kitten keeps trying to climb it, it's pretty much a Christmas miracle that it hasn't come toppling down yet.
Wish I could come to the Bizarre!
