Christmas Browsing
Last weekend I stopped at Berridge Nurseries just to see their collection of decorated Christmas trees. I stop there every year to see the most recent designs. They have a professional decorator prepare several trees and they are all so interesting to see. They also sell ornaments and other eye-catching decorator things like this pewter nativity set.
The trees are hard to photograph because they are so full of ornaments and so close together. When I download the photos, they always look like a big blob of color.
Imagine trying to decorate a tree with all those bobs and bits on it. What a job!
Those are almost artpieces, can't see a Christmas tree anymore...:)
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer a simpler tree, Sharon! And the work into putting these together would be overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteA bit over the top for my taste!
ReplyDeleteToo many bits and bobs! Taking that tree down would be torture.
ReplyDeleteI'll have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, nice and simple. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with biebkriebels.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought of pewter for an altarpiece.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty trees Sharon and I haven't even had time to put mine up yet! Better get cracking before the grandchildren arrive on Friday 😉
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem photographing trees at our annual Festival of Trees -- so gorgeous and full of bling.
ReplyDeleteThis requires a lot of patience indeed for our eyes' delight though.
ReplyDeleteVery magical
ReplyDeleteThe pewter nativity scene is interesting. I got my daughter some pewter stocking hangers. She already had two for the girls and laughed at me for how many others I got, but the house was full today and nearly all of the ones I gave her were in use.
