Wow.. You are just to far ahead of us. We are still working on getting through the Turkey Day Holidays here...But...I'm so ready for the Christmas Cheer. This is sure putting me in the mood this morning. I can't wait to see what you come up with in the next few weeks.
Ho-Ho-Ho,
Kate
Have a fun-filled weekend.
Koralee,
You are ahead of the game! Getting ready for Christmas already.
I am a huge fan of bottle brushe trees, and these creamy dreams are precious!
When you are done with your house, would you come over and help me with mine?

I just received my Christmas cards in the mail - ordered them this year because I just know there isn't going to be enough time to make them like I usually do. Also bought 1 present but alas, no decorating as of yet. Your trees are very pretty.
love bottle brush trees...
that color is so nice
I'll really be in the Christmas spirit
after the bazaar tomorrow...
75 Christmas cards to sell ~ wish me luck!!!

Wow Koralee .. way ahead of the game ... slow down a bit :-) I can just imagine your house all decked out .. very pretty too. ♥
Hi Koralee,
Love those pretty trees! Been makin' Christmas pretties! Today one of my favorite little shops is having their Holiday open house. It's always so pretty, I might be joining you! :] But as of right now still got my white pumpkins out.
Have a wonderful,wonderful day!

With sweet little trees like yours, how could you possibly not begin decorating. I haven't begun any decorating, but have started shopping for gifts. Have a wonderful day :)
Nope not yet but yours are absolutely gorgeous! So serene yet festive and beautiful. Koralee...you inspire sweet friend!
Oh these little trees are terrific! I haven't started yet, I think I'll wait another one or two weeks because my boyfriend might kill me if I start earlier haha :D
Am itching to get started on my decorations but it's way too early! Enjoying looking at all the beautiful displays in the shops though. :o)
I'm with you , Koralee. I have started with my kitchen Christmas tree and will show it off soon. My favorite Christmas ornaments are the trees so I have quite a few lovelies. Yours are beautiful. Now that my daughter's kitten has left I can seriously start decorating. The 'ol cats don't pay much attention. Have a festive day, Deb=^..^=x5
Wish I could add a touch of Christmas joy to my home already, but in the Netherlands we are celebrating Sinterklaas at December 5th. Yes, yes the Christmas tree enters our home early morning December 6th ;) Your sweet petits are darn cute. I will think of you when looking at my fireplace this weekend. The fire will most probably be burning all weekend long, we have such stormy weather. I got the shuffle board out {think about turning it into a kind of tradition on Christmas day}.
Have fun fun fun at the barn, I know you will. Much love sweet friend xxxxx
So pretty!!! I love that Santa. I've been collecting Santas for the past ten years. My mom had been getting me a really nice one every year, but I had to tell her to stop because I have no more room to store them and display them in my little apartment. :( But once my husband and I get a house, I'll restart my Santa collection! Eventually I want to have two Christmas trees: one that has all my regular ornaments, and one for just Santa ornaments. :)
So far, I've displayed my Christmas books and DVDs. Every year I wrap my wall picture frames in gorgeous paper and ribbon to look like gifts, and I'm really tempted to do that this weekend! Christmas is only 6 weeks away afterall. That's not much time to enjoy the festive decorations! (Though I always leave my tree up far into January!)
Happy weekend, Koralee!
LOVE your little magical cream trees!
We have some just like them...and they are MAGICAL!
Also loving those pink and white striped cookies up there!
LOVE everything about YOU...sweet YOU!
You make my HEART BEAM with JOY!
Happy Weekend my Sweet Koralee!

Oh what nice beauties YOU got up there, Koralee dear!!! I love the colors you choose your Christmas to be! Creamy Christmas!!! Lovely!!!
I wish you show me all small details in x-mas decor!!! Kisses!!! Have a sweet and fun weekend!!! Bela.
You are very brave to have already started! Very nice colors you have chosen.
I imagen you , in the middle of the night reading for hours all the comments hihi ....
It's another world for all of you oversea ...
Christmas is all over already .
Here in Holland today Sint Nicolaas arrives on his big steamship all the way from Spain ... with lots and lots and lots of presents for the children ... He will visit us in the night while everyone sleeps and put little sweet through the chimney riding on the rooftops on his white horse . He has lots of helpers Zwarte Pieten who carry the bags filled with the special sweets : Chocolate letters , chocolate toys , chocolate money , chocolate cigarettes , but also kruidnootjes and taaitaai ..... The children put their shoe by the fireplace with drawings and a list of wishes and a carrot for the horse and a bowl of fresh water for the horse .... In the morning they are awake very early to look if Sint Nicolaas was there . He cannot come often because he has to visit all the children and collect their drawings and wishing lists .
On the night of 5 december we celebrate Sint Nicolaas . Big bags and baskets full of presents will be delivered by the frontdoor .
Mostly the neighbours help to knock on the door ! We have the most wonderful wrappingpapers ! Wish you could see them .
So no christmas decoration for us untill december 6 ......
But you enjoy and we will follow you soon .
I JUST HAD TO COME BACK FOR ONE MORE GANDER before you posted again this weekend! LOVE all the photos, but most of all, your friendship dearest. HAVE A LOVELY SATURDAY! Anita

Koralee your trees are soooo gorgeous, it is wonderful to start decorating, feeling the magic of Christmas.
Have a beautiful Weekend my lovely friend. xxx
Pretty, Pretty, Pretty as Always!!!
I have had the urge to start, which I haven't felt that way in a couple of years, but I host Thanksgiving and I like to keep in the fall mode for that day. But, when my wonderful company pulls out of the driveway the Sunday after- Down to the basement I go to start hauling everything up. :)
Have a Magical weekend decorating,
Joyce
in my heart

Oh what a great time of the year....your little cream trees are adorable. Can't go wrong with a bottle brush tree!! And that Santa ....oh my.
I have collected Santas for years....my tree is nothing but Santas. And I can't stop searching for more vintage Santas. I have issues - LOL
He is a cutie. I would have taken him home :)
I just love your joyful spirit. I've enjoyed my visit here.
I love your sparkle! I have been working on making some things for our store window but have been holding off on home.
Oh, I love those cream trees! So soft & pretty! I try to hold off until the day after Thanksgiving...but you're getting me inspired to start!
Wow Koralee,
I've never seen these trees in a cream color. Fabulous!

Hi! I love this glittery idea! I have entered this post in a gallery page called "Ways to Deck the Halls with Glitter", linking full credit back to your blog, of course. I would love for you to review it and please let me know that I have your approval. Otherwise I will take it off of the page immediately.
Thanks, Tami @ Curb Alert!
