Christmas Tree Party!

It's hard to resist a good party. Sarah, at Thrifty Decor Chic, is hosting a Christmas tree party! I love attending Christmas tours of homes, but I haven't seen any advertised for my area this year. But, a blog tour of home is even better! You don't have to face the freezing temperatures, worry about tracking in mud on your shoes, or even get out of your pj's. So, grab a cup of coffee or cocoa and check out some of the amazing trees over at Thrifty Decor Chick's Christmas Tree Party Tour!!
Here are just a couple of my trees:
I know I am a crazy person to try to decorate a tree for each room, but I just can't help myself. I made this tree to match my Johnson Brothers' Christmas dishes in my dining room. I stuffed it with flowers, tea cups and vintage (look-a-like) cards that I got last year on clearance at my favorite antique store. This is my little pink, silver and green tree that is in the kitchen. It is a hodge-podge of Dollar Tree finds. I am obsessed with red.....love it.....love it.....love it!! But, I wanted something that would blend in the kitchen with my other obsession---dishes! The cool thing about my everyday dishes, the Johnson Brother's British Castles, is that they can be used with red, cranberry or even pink!
In the kitchen, I paired them with my Johnson Brothers' Rose Chintz collection and other rose colored antique store finds.
I love pairing new and old things together. Some of my collection is from my great-grandmother (the pink glassware), some I haggled for at antique stores and some I found for $1 or so at T. J. Max!
I heart the Johnson Brothers very much........can you tell??
I could go on about dishes all day.......but I'll stop and let you check out the the party tour!
