The Happy Tree

I am one of those people who's least favorite day of the year is December 26th. I hate the thought of Christmas being over, and I REALLY hate taking down the Christmas tree. After the sparkling lights and cheerful colors of my decorations, my house always feels empty and dark. So this year, Becky and I decided to put up a small tree by the fireplace and decorate it for Valentine's Day, but to me it is just a Happy Tree.
 The ribbon and most of the decorations are from our Christmas tree. But check out that cute owl! He is from a kit that we bought for $1.00 at Pat Catan's. I totally love how the tree brightens the living room, and it is small enough that it isn't in the way. I think this adorable tree will keep us happy through January and February, and then who knows. Maybe an Easter tree????

    Oh, I love the seasonal trees! I have my Valentine one up. It's a wire tree (primitive) with crocheted hearts, bells and bows!

    I bought a bok of small bright wooden eggs years ago from IKEA and try to put up an easter tree each year.

    we are SO on the same page! I love Christmas and when everything comes down, it's just so blah. I had a friend years ago who left her kitchen tree up year round, changing out the seasons and it was a lovely thing. She would use her kids artwork, old pictures, baby things, the kids toys...like a life collage! Can't wait to read more on your blog!

    I still find myself heading into the front room to plug in the Christmas tree every morning! I guess I wasn't ready for it to be over either. Your Happy Tree is beautiful!
