It's nice to see the tinsel tree sparkle in the morning sunshine!
This four-foot peewee is the smallest in our collection, but is also the most brilliant by day. I picked it up about 10 years ago at the fabric store in an after-Christmas sale and have enjoyed using it in various locations over the years. I think it shows the best on the landing, though, because the sun floods in these windows and bounces off the silver boughs.
This year it is decorated with ornaments from Randy's childhood. Don't you love good old-fashioned balls? Some are simple, while others are more ornate. They're all pretty!
They're also fragile. I dropped one while hanging it on the tree this year and it hit the base just right, causing it to shatter. 😡 By the way, don't forget the bread clean-up trick when you're in a similar situation. When something small breaks into millions of tiny shards, press a fresh slice of bread directly on top of the mess and the tiny pieces will stick to the bread, making for an easier clean-up. You'll still need to vacuum, but the bread is a good first step.
I hope your weekend sparkles!
