this little tree of ours

{this was a guest post for my number one girl crush. coming soon.}

here lies my little tree 

{and messy entry table}

I am a real tree advocate through and through. the smell of a tree in our home is a crucial part of the holiday for me and so I have insisted that we bring one home every year.

 {even though the first year it cost more than a weeks worth of groceries because I let that sneaky street seller rob me blind}

& because I am also a california girl through and through I have covered said real tree with sea stars and shells. I try to wrap up the presents for under the tree well in advance because everything just seems more chrismassy that way, so these have been down there for awhile. 

{even if this year they are just brown paper packages tied up with string}

and just in case you wanted to see 16 more tiny hipstamtic pictures of my tree... your wish is my command

{apparently my tree likes the spotlight} 

xxoo

cheers to you and yours

happy christmas
