Simple and Serene Living: kitschy kitchen tree

Earlier today, I started this post and put it in draft form to finish this evening. During the day, the terrible shootings occurred in Connecticut. My heart is breaking for those families and for the loss of those sweet and precious children. I hope everyone will spend time with your loved ones holding them close to your hearts. I am sending my prayers up along with the rest of our country for our terrible loss.

*************************************************************************************************************************

I gave a little sneak peek, a couple of days ago, at our kitschy kitchen Christmas tree. It is a fun tree, full of toys and vintage and handmade ornaments. It is my favorite tree.

From the tumble of toys at the foot of the tree.

To the special ornaments and garlands of apples and candies

To its playful topper

It's a tree that seems to delight both children and adults.

Linking today with:
A Favorite Thing Saturday
Frugal Friday
Vintage Inspiration Friday
What's It Wednesday

Your kitchen tree is darling! I love your topper so much fun.

It's very hard to carry on with regular things in the light of the tragic and senseless events ...
