The Fraser Fir

 Good morning!
Today it's all about the Fraser Fir .. The family tree where all collected ornaments get displayed..
 there are 4 trees in the living room .. the red truck tree, the Santa tree, the flocked tree, and this real tree..
 I finished stitching this Heart in Hand Christmas Night piece and made it into an ornament..black buffalo check jingle bells and a covered button on top of a red buffalo check bow ..
Classic Colorworks Licorice Red, Blackbird, Snowball , Jolly Holly,Cocoa Bean, Old money , and Honeycomb were the floss colors I used 
The little elf on a reindeer is a vintage ornament from my childhood..
 The tree sits in a vintage galvanized bucket from an Estate sale .. There are weight bench weights on top of the stand in the bucket to make sure it doesn't go anywhere :) There are red gingham ribbons woven through the tree.. and the top is all red berry picks ..

 More vintage and stitched ornaments..

 The little elf is made from pantyhose with a crocheted hat and scarf .. a long time ago I made these and sold them .. wonder how many are still out there ?


 Lots of Disney ornaments .. my favorites are the big ball with ears
 more Disney and stitching
The chicken in a butter dish is on this tree.. and lots of Bread dough ornaments,, I think now they are made from Resin .. 
Thanks so much for your visit!

The Fraser Fir



Good morning! 
It is all about the only real tree in the house today..

White lights and colored lights are both on the tree...

Red glitter striped wide burlap ribbon is the garland
Lots of stitched ornaments.. handmade ornaments from my kids when they were little.. ornaments from places we have visited.. lots of memories on this tree..
that elf riding a reindeer ornament was on my parents tree.. it is adorable!
I measured the front of the tree and it is 88 inches across the front ..7 and a 13 feet ..It is a big one!~


In front of the tree is a vintage childs wheelbarrow filled with a handmade wooden Santa .. a wool quilt from my husbands grandmother and lots of ornaments..

It sits in a vintage galvanized bucket.. we had problems getting it to stand up because the trunk is forked.. there are 2 stems in there! So we have weights from the weight bench in the bucket with it!
