It's Looking A Lot Like Christmas {Vintage Baubles- Wreath & Tree}

I love when it is time to take out and decorate with two of my most favorite decorations - the vintage ornament Christmas wreath and cone tree. I love the look of each as it brings me back to yesteryear and reminds me of ornaments used by my grandparents many years ago.

I purchased both of these vintage decorations from my Atlanta favorite shop, Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts. I have shopped at Boxwoods since 2004 and have been a fan for every year since.

The wreath and tree have a place of honor in the sunroom for the holiday season. I can't tell you how much JOY each brings.

It's Looking A Lot Like Christmas {Acorn Cottage: Oh Christmas Tree #2}

I shared with you the live tree in the sunroom earlier this week. Today, I'd like to share the Balsam Hill frasier fir tree in the living room decorated in the traditional colors of red, green, gold, and silver. Placed in a Ballard Designs Toulon urn, the tree is lovely especially at night. Lots of glittered branches and pomegranates make for a special touch. Many of the ornaments are special as they were collected from our years of traveling.

It's Looking A Lot Like Christmas {Acorn Cottage: Oh Christmas Tree}

Right before Thanksgiving J heads out to The Plant Gallery to choose our Christmas tree. Yes! I leave it all up to him since I am in school and cannot get away. A frasier fir tree is our go-to and has been for several years now. The tree is always scheduled for delivery the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving, and the decorating begins that evening. A live tree is always placed in the sunroom and decorated with some of our favorite local ornaments as well as ornaments chosen from our travels. It is always fun to reminisce as we unpack each bauble.
