Ready for a Christmas Story?

Well, settle in with a nice cup of "something" (no judgement) and I'll tell you a true tale... Once upon a time, there was an interior designer (moi) who had a thriving firm. She also had a husband (busy attorney) and son (busy student).

It was the beginning of the Christmas season and everybody wanted the house decorated -- apparently leaving it to the designer/ mom-type person, who was up to her ears with clients waiting for their own designs to be installed. The mom-type person asked for help, but her husband and son were too busy. So she got snippety and made a decision. She would create a tree for HERSELF. It would be her tree only and would have a theme that would make her heart happy -- decorated with natural and whimsical objects like pinecones and nests and all kinds of birdie ornaments.
