I bought this tree at a Farmington Jr. High Cheerleader Rummage Sale for $10. I didn't dare ask for $8 but I should have! I have used it for years. When we moved to Omaha, the house had tall ceilings and the tree looked miniature in my kitchen corner. Mom and Dad were visiting and helped me come up with this solution...I placed it in a outdoor pot, and it became topiary-like! 
Here is my kitchen mantle. One year, Mom and Dad gave me this beautiful picture of Mary and Joseph that I leave up all year!
Finally, Bruce let me purchase a bigger tree... I love the colors Gold, Red and Purple together!

I love decorating for Christmas! Every year I buy a few new ornaments to add to our tree. My theory is you can always add one more ornament! Every vacation or special spot we visit, I pick a ornament as a souvenir. I love decorating my trees and thinking about each ornament and where it came from. The house is so cosy for Christmas and it looks better in person... so come over and visit!!!!

"Oops" I spelled gorgeous wrong.
Your home looks so beautiful and festive! I have never thought of red, gold and purple together, it looks amazing! To top it all off, the day I came in to see your tree, there was a wonderful smell of muffins or something yummy baking. So festive!
