tuesday: i'm thinkin'...

... if i was martha.stewart.meets.kate.reddy,

i'd have made these lovely christmas trees myself.

but i'm not.

and i didn't. 

aren't these gorgeous?

they could be made very simply, i would imagine.

i mean, they would take some time, to be sure.

but they would be simple enough for even someone like me!

just some styrofoam cones,

some cut pieces of cloth ribbon,

and some hot glue or floral pins...

and like i said...

time.

well, since i am a mama to a just-slightly-less-than-six-month-old
with little time for much of anything in the "crafty" department,

i supported a sweet friend's business

and bought these from her shop instead.
{she gave me a fabulous friend discount!}

i was in love with the vintage look of these the minute i saw them.

they fit nicely in the vintage tray on my side table next to the couch...

complete with a bird trinket leaned up against it.

they're the perfect addition to my mid-century modern home,

where i tend not to decorate with traditional christmas things,

but rather with more modern and stylized items.

for some reason,

i prefer the symbol of a stylized christmas tree

over a literal or realistic christmas tree.

call me crazy.

{i know this "i'm thinkin'" series is supposed to be one photo and only one line to go with.

but i couldn't keep my thoughts to just one line on this post.

i'm thinkin', i'll never learn the art of brevity.
