Hello everyone! Before anything else, I want to thank those of you who took time to visit me on the house tour. Your sweet and kind comments warmed my heart.
Admittedly, I felt a lot of pressure being among such an incredible lineup of women. It’s so easy to compare yourself to others and doubt your own abilities at times. But so long as you remain true to yourself and put your heart into what you do, that will hopefully shine through in the end.
I love these little skates Bella and I made one night. I drew and cut them while she tied the ‘laces’ with needle and thread. Such an easy yet beautiful craft to make with your little ones.
If you follow me on FB, you may have been there when I first purchased this white tree at our local thrift store. We were there to buy some chapter books for the kiddies and my son spotted it in the back room prior to them bringing them out. We left without it but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Two hours later, hubby convinced me to go back and there it was in all its white glory…$49.99 later and it’s one of my favourite trees we have ever had.
Some empty boxes of crackers wrapped in plain white paper and beautified with a pretty creamy ribbon…
It’s difficult to see in the photo, but I used some white feather boas to fill in any empty spaces in the branches. It gives it such a warm and romantic feel.
Of course I had to have pearls hanging as well. I was fortunate I didn’t have to spend a lot of money on decorating the tree as most of the ornaments we already had and or we made.
This Saturday I will be sharing my Christmas mantel at the new FOLK magazine blog, where yours truly has become their newest contributor. I am extremely happy, excited and nervous at the same time. I am joining an incredible group of people.
Thank you so much once again for sharing a little bit of your time with me. See you tonight for HAPPY HOUR.
much love,
Beautiful tree Lucy – it’s perfect! I have loved seeing all of your ornaments too and I think that little skate is one of my favorites. Congratulations on becoming a contributor at Folk – you will be a treasured addition I am sure! 🙂

I’m your new follower 🙂 Just so I can dream.
Your Tree is absolutely amazing! I’ve never wanted to have a white tree but I changed my mind! It’s so stunning!
I have the same tree ($19.99, an after-Christmas sale at Lowe’s a few years ago) and have loved it with all my vintage pastel Shiny Brite ornaments… but branches have always felt a little “sparse.” Your feather boa trick sounds like the perfect solution, going to try it out!
Lucy, I love, love your white tree. The skates are adorable, love everything you do. Congratulations on your new adventure. Your home is gorgeous. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
♥♥♥ your white Christmas, it is stunning and you are so right eveything looks a little better with glitter. I featured your red beetle Christmas pillow on my blog today, thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I will enjoy it for years to come. It has a special meaning to me and my husband, You can read about it here……http://goodlifeofdesign.blogspot.com/2014/12/our-christmas-guest-room.html
Lucy your tree is beautiful! I could just kick myself now though……last Thursday night out by the side of the road was what looked to be a perfect white tree at least 6ft tall. I stopped and was going to back up to get it and hubby says don’t even think about it! He hates white trees, but I love them! Well I put the car in drive still debating picking it up anyway. So now I see this gorgeous tree of yours and show it to hubby….he says he likes the ornaments but still doesn’t like the tree. I bet my life on it, that had I picked it up and got it decorated, he would have loved it! It would have looked gorgeous in my antique bedroom I just know it. I usually don’t ever let him sway me on a road side pickup because he just has no vision…why I let him this time I will never know! Still kicking myself durn it all anyway……it was FREE! Have a beautiful Christmas! 🙂
What a lovely tree Lucy! You always have the most beautiful ideas.
Congratulations on the Folk magazine blog stint!
