Christmas Grab Bag- Tabletop Tree
Forget the huge Christmas tree this year and go for a small tabletop one from Terrain instead. John Derian sells a similar version.

Red & White Stripes
A traditional secretary desk in my antiques booth gets a burst of Christmas cheer with red and white stripes.
D.I.Y.– Purchase scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby. Before cutting, make sure the paper fits and the stripes line up. Apply painter’s tape to the corners of the paper and stick to the back of the desk.

Mini Trees In Bags
Three live saplings (Atlas Cedar, Port Orford Cedar & Norway Spruce) in drawstring cotton bags. All ready for tabletop displays during the holidays. Afterwards simply plant them outside.
Christmas Paper Chain
My favorite decoration for the holidays is paper chains.
Summer Break
