If I didn't have children, it would be a quirky yet sophisticated statement. But I think the fun (and real beauty) is in the chopping, the messy pine needles, the decorating, and the happy children inspecting and reinspecting their handiwork.
A little too hip for me. I like it in concept. But, I like a tree to smell of forest. There are so few trees in L.A. That I cannot wait to have a big pine tree in my home to clean up after and feed bottles of 7Up to.
Miss C: I think you've called it. But don't you love it's lines?!
Bel: I hear you. And yet - no needles to vacuum! And that's hilarious about your response to my comment being followed up by this title! Coincidence is freaky :-)
Wendy: How gorgeously would the WB jewels hang from this?
E: I know. Love.
Sister: The tree is more fun than therapy, I imagine. And cheaper. I think.
Seeker: Isn't it. It would be like an Xmas nod without going all "traditional"!
It's too stark for me. I grew up without Christmas trees, without santa and basically without christmas (not for any other reason than my parents thought it 'too commercial'). So I go whole hog on the tree, my kids decorate - so it's ugly as hell and completely unbalance (all on oneside close to the ground), but one of my favourite memories was going to a neighbours house to decorate their tree, and it's something I want my kids to enjoy and love about christmas.
Imogen: I've heard that from a few others - it is a stark tree. And I love how you're giving your kids a great, over the top tradition. Let's see if they rebel and put this up when they're 25 - or if they stick to the OTT :-)
Form/Function. Line/Curve. Safe/Risk. Art/Craft. Body/Mind.
Fashion intersects these. It's how we express what is popular in what is personal. It's where intellect debates sex; where soft and hard duke it out. So much mystery underpins beautiful things. So much confidence rests upon them. Discuss.

ReplyDeletep.s. On my blog today( comments) I said that you should be a therapist and I come to your blog to see that you think you need therapy. Hmmm....;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's the first tree to ever make me want a tree.
ReplyDeleteIt's very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love therapy! And the tree, too.
ReplyDeleteWell... with my feelings about Xmas I think it's a cool tree.

HEAVEN and that looks exactly like our buffet!!!!
ReplyDeleteMattie: I absolutely covet that buffet. So perfect. I think you need the tree to complement it.
ReplyDeleteThis tree would make an excellent necklace rack.
