It might not be snowing in Atlanta, but we're having a white Christmas! And maybe a white Valentine's Day. There's so much "flocking" floating around here, we might just have a white Fourth of July! But, it's beautiful, and we're loving it! Here's a peek at our first flocked Christmas tree. We were told it's a wild noble fir.

| YES...It's Live! |
But, let me tell you, it's not easy to light these trees! And I like a lot of lights! Maybe I just don't know the secret. Lolo definitely doesn't. If anyone does, please "
Let Lolo Know." He does now know that you don't use green string lights on a white flocked tree!
 |
| Hmmm....These Lights Won't Work! |
After three days and four trips to the store for more lights, we were finally ready to start decorating! With the help of my oh-so-talented friend Beth Lord, owner of
the indie-pendent, we paired winter white with silver and gold to transform what was beginning to look like a Charlie Brown Christmas into our own Winter Wonterland, meant to delight and surprise...from partridges in a flocked Christmas tree to prancing reindeer to a small fraser fir nestled in a silver punch bowl.

We mixed live greenery (most of it from our front yard) and white plants with rustic decorations and sterling silver to keep it simple, yet elegant.
