A Woodland Christmas Tree

The other day, my daughters begged me to go to Cost Plus.  I have to say, they didn't have to twist my arm too hard because I love Cost Plus Christmas ornaments.  I told myself that I wasn't going to buy any new Christmas decorations this year, but once I got there and saw these mushrooms, I couldn't resist...


Every year, I decorate my tree with a woodland theme.  Except this year I did not bring out my 6 foot tree, but instead  I decorated a small, 4 foot tree... 



I took my cute mushrooms and placed them in a "gap" in the tree...


You can tell that I "shove in" lots of things in my Woodland tree, like beeskips and birdhouses....



Every year I tell myself that I need a different theme, but I just can't resist the toadstools, woodland animals, and sweet birds...







What Christmas theme tree do you have this year?

  6. Oh so cute! Don't ever change it, except to add more treasures as you find them. You know my philosophy is that you can never have too many Christmas ornaments! I just love all the "critters." (This is one of Tori's favorite words now.)

    How's the kitchen project? Hope that you are making out okay...Thinking of you!

  7. Heather,
    Don't change a thing!! It's adorable, love all the "woody" elements! My main tree has oranaments that have been collected and made over the years. I also do those tall, skinny trees that look like forest trees with different themes, one has mittens,deers, etc. I also have a vintage silver tree which I do in my dinning room all in silver, and Kate has a pink tinsel tree in her room with vintage ornaments. It's so fun, I agree with cindy, above, you can never have to many ornaments, and I "can't" resist new ones that catch my eye!
    Merry Christmas

  11. Love your woodland tree! I would actually rather do several small themed trees rather than one large one. They are so much fun to decorate.

  12. I love it. My favorite tress are ones with a natural look. Nice job, my friend. And the mushrooms fit in perfectly.

  14. Heather,
    That is one of the cutest trees I have seen! I love all your ornaments and your theme. The theme of mine this year is "Let the kids run wild". Yes, I basically let them decorate the family room tree and then never got around to putting up "my" tree in the living room. I haven't decided if I will post the tree or not. I guess I will - it is pretty cute!

  16. I love, love, love your woodland tree! I wouldn't change a thing Heather. I've done the same tree for many years now...I just add one or two new ornaments every year...I love my tree the way it is I just can't see doing anything else...So I totally get you. Still lovin' those cute little beeskips. Sending you a great big hug.

    Much love,
    ♥Ana

  19. Your tree is so adorable. I always decorate my trees the same. I might buy another smaller tree after Christmas so I can have one that I can do a theme in.

  21. Sooo cute! I really don't think I had a theme just what looked pretty. I did roll some sheet music and stuck it in randomly for a different touch. Have a Merry Christmas! Traci

  22. Pretty!!! I love my woodland Christmas tree also!

  23. What a beautiful tree! I guess our theme is "Christmases past" as 80% of the ornaments were made by the kids or given to them to remember an event or as a gift. We do have a vast lot of bagpipe and grinch items that my husband has been given as gifts...
    Ok, I'll give. Ours is a mis-mash tree and always has been. But I do love the theme idea!
