I like expensive things...but I'm not a snob....I'm the just the type that would rather save to buy something that is just a bit pricier but will last way longer. That being said I will tell you that my tree is going on it's 10th year =) At the time I didn't have any living room furniture. For reasons of moving from one place to the other and throwing out the old sofas before the new ones were purchased. Soooo.... since I had all that extra space I bought the biggest and best atificial tree I could find that year ~ 2001. After having put up the tree in early November (I'm always Early) I had to unexpectedly move and so I had to take it all down and put it back up. I didn't mind. It was after all the only thing in my Living room ;)
One year I actually left it up all year and decorated it for all the different seasons That was fun. People thought I was a little
In 2009 My tree was stuck in a storage in sunny Florida while I was back in New England...that year I REALLY missed my tree. So last year ~ 2010 I decided to put it up in October. I was anxious to take the poor tree out of the box so I decided to decorate it as an Autmn Tree. It was beautiful and the change over to christmas decor was a breeze. So Here it is 2011 my tree know lives in 2 seperate boxes as the original box could no longer handle the wear and tear. My TREE however stands strong and beautiful....you guessed it it's up. My lights were a problem this year, as my tree was up before christmas lights made an appearance on the store shelves. ;) I just let it stand undecorated in the corner until lights were available. The debate was...do I just wait to put the christmas decorations on it? Or Can I get a couple of weeks with Autumn decor?
I managed to find just a few pumpkins and my autumn ribbon and I will enjoy it until it's really time for christmas decorations (Thanksgiving Day;)
I'm excited to add a lime green for christmas this year it's gonna be great...but for now I'll Enjoy the Autumn tree. It truly make me happy!
