What do you use as your tree skirt? I have one that I like that is cream satin with pale green felted birds on it. But I like to switch it up and sometimes use a big piece of fabric, like I've done this year with a Jane Churchill linen. I may have mentioned before that one of my favorite skirts I've used was a vintage Escada ball gown in peach plaid with tulle underneath.
We've had an extra fun time decorating the house this year since we'll be one of three houses hosting a progressive party with our neighbors this weekend. I decided to dig out some of my matchbooks from years ago and put them on the bar. No time like the holidays to be a little quirky.

Tiffany,
your tree looks lovely and I do like your skirt! I have some that match my different sets of stockings but I use a very large, vintage embroidered white linen tablecloth that I got from my next door neighbor back in the 70's after she passed away. Her daughter had a yard sale and I was lucky enough to get it for a few dollars. I'll be posting it with my tree soon. Hope you're haveing a wonderful holiday season!

You always have the best ideas! When we were first married, I had nothing but an old, red duvet that I used as a tree skirt. I then went and purchased a skirt the following year, but now I want something different, less traditional.
Beautiful....love the skirt! The colors are just so rich and beautiful!
You are so clever - love the idea of the ball gown! And of course you had one handy! Also such a great idea to put out your matchbooks - hard to come by these days. Your tree looks beautiful! xo J

GORGEOUS tree!! It is my boyfriend's and my first Christmas together and we've decorated our tree--I've been planning to stop by the fabric store and get a big piece of fabric for the skirt as well!
