We have a thing for trees … Christmas Trees

December 17, 2012 By Jacque 18 Comments

In our house we have a thing for Christmas trees.
We LOVE them.
In fact we have 8 trees in our house and the number seems to be growing!

Our main tree is in our family room and sits right next to our Pottery Barn Inspired Santa.

This tree was my grandparents.
It’s about 30 years old now, flocking and all!
I was a little concerned that Matt wouldn’t like my white tree when we got married but lucky for me he loves it as much as I do!

Well we love the tree, just not the trail of flocking we have to clean up each year when we put the tree up!  You can find a similar one HERE.

It’s full of ornaments that mean something to us.

I have some great ornaments us grandkids made for my grandparents tree wayy back when.

Ones that make us laugh “I’ve been kissed by a dog!”  
I love playing this ornament!  You can find your own HERE.

And ornaments that share feelings about the Christmas Season.

Our dining room forest is on a much smaller scale … well kinda.

Our small tree collection started with a small ceramic tree that used to be long to Matts grandparents.
Isn’t it great?
Matt’s mom was going to donate it and I snatched it up!

Last fall we found this pretty white tree at an antique mall and added it to our collection.  You can find new ceramic trees for sale HERE.

There are a few other trees in the house but I think I might just save those for next year!

    JACQUE!! I’ve been searching for one of those ceramic Christmas trees for YEARS! My granny always had one that I loved, and I have no idea where it went after she passed. I would LOVE to have one, so hold onto yours! 🙂 I think they are so, so cool, and will always remind me of my granny. Love all of your trees!

    I have dreams of being one of those houses that has a tree in every room! We’ll get there one year! Last year we were up to two (full sized) but this year we only have one and a bunch of minis floating around. I have to tell you, I’ve recently fallen in love with those vintage ceramic trees, so I’ll have to keep my eyes open at the thirft stores around here. I love your mini collection of them!

      Thanks Courtenay! It brings warmth to my heart every time I walk through the dining room and see my Grandparent’s ceramic tree! Good luck filling your house with trees…We’ll follow suit!

    What a beautiful home! I love all of your trees. I have lots of trees up at my house! I get lots of comments about all of my holiday decor! I truly love all of it, though. We live in a much smaller house than last year and I left 2 trees in storage. I ended up not unpacking about 5 rubber maids….I’m thinking I should part with some of my treasures!

    Love the ceramic trees. I have my mother in laws that she made before we married ( 49 rs ago) I put it out some years and have noticed many are being brought out again. I’m not sure if antique or if someone is remaking them but either way they are neat to place in with new and old decorations.
