My Alice in Wonderland Tree







     I just can't wait to put up my Alice tree. Forgive my photos from last year. These pictures don't do it much justice; it's adorned with red glass hearts from around the world (mainly compliments of Bebe) weird keys, smaller topiaries from my wedding 13 years ago, glass mushrooms, and very intricate Alice ornaments. It's also the place where I hang MIL's lone surviving antique ornament from her own childhood. Because of the red hearts, I stack red, white and green gifts under this tree. I can't put them under the main tree, obviously because that room is brown and tiger striped and neutral. Christmas morning is always a little treasure hunt through the house for all of us!
Update: I just scored the sweetest glass Alice ornaments on Ebay! They're from my favorite year, 1996, and each is palm sized. I'll be receiving Alice, the Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit. Although Radko made Alice in Wonderland ornaments that are somewhat rare and very cute, these are waaaayyy better and I can't wait to get them and put them up!
Update 2: Attention Alice fans: I've created a new blog, Cabbages and Kings. It's all Alice all the time. I hope you'll all join me there and on the other kitty: channels: Organic Orgy and Zen of Homekeeping. Toodles, kitty.

    I love special trees that hold a theme (only time I opt for themes) or heartfelt ornaments. I could have a house of trees but then comes Jan. & I dislike taking them all down again. Thanks for sharing Kitty. I adore your Alice tree. You are too unique for words!

    DT: thanks so much, honey bunch. You're so right: the only thing worse than Christmas in October is a sad old tree on January 2!

    What a fun idea, Kitty! That Mad Hatter ornament is fantastic.

    Averill, Thanks! It's actually a candle snuffer. I use floral wire to attach him and his Alice counterpart to the tree. I actually made a new blog devoted to All Alice All the Time, Cabbages and Kings. I hope you'll pop in over there from time to time! xo kitty
