Holiday Open House

You'll recognize my Christmas Tree if you stopped by the Holiday House Tour yesterday, but I thought I would share some of my favorite ornaments! Here are some stats: she's fake (or faux I should say to be fancy), 3 strings of white lights and 2 strings of holly berry lights give her some sparkle, 4 strands of red wooden beads/cranberries wrap around her, and mostly red, green, and santa themed ornaments hang from her branches. I also put 7 pinecones in the inner branches and slightly soak them with Bath&Body works "Cool Spruce" scented oil so she smells real!
I love the star on top. I got it at a Christmas Fair 2 years ago and I think I love it more now than when I bought it =)
We have a few of these initial ornaments of our last name and first names hidden around the tree.
A birch bark canoe from my favorite state!
Ok, so horrible picture, but I have 4 of these pixies hanging out (2 men and 2 women)
This came with my husband when we got married. It's a hallmark ornament from 1995 I think. Clark Kent changes into Superman and back while the telephone sign flickers.
Christopher Radko holiday house that we got as a wedding gift. (See the cool platter we also received in the Home Tour post)
And lastly, the wooden birds I got on super clearance when Marshall Field's had their last Christmas before changing to Macy's.
Thanks for stopping by and peeking at my tree! Have fun checking out the rest of the open houses linked up at Kimba's Place. It already appears to be a great party =)
