Well, I've got one tree up!

Finally, I've got at least one tree up. It's a tree in our bedroom. I'm so bad at getting the decorations up this year that even the Handsome Husband is questioning me! This is the third year I've put a tree in our room. The first year it was all hearts. Last year I had some pics on it with touches of turquoise. This year I've added the red leopard ribbon (which I absolutely LOVE) and I've gathered all our ornaments that we have bought in London over the years and added them to the tree. It's kind of sentimental because we were married and lived in London for a year and we always seem to make it back about ever two years. So this tree is my stab at being romantic. Because I'm not a very romantic person, I took the opportunity to point out the romantic-ness of the tree to my husband.
The admiral is new this year, purchased at Leeds Castle.
The admiral matches several soldier ornaments that I have. The HorseGuard being my favorite.
This big waterford heart is from last year and the little post box (I'm obsessed with English post boxes) is a new purchase from St. Pauls Cathedral.
I bought a box of several little gold hearts this year from Fortnum and Mason.
I love the way these beaded hearts catch and reflect the light. Purchased two years ago at Roger's Gardens.

Hope you enjoyed our little Christmas tree of Love.

I love it Janie! I cannot believe it is only your bedroom tree. I love the red leopard ribbon from London. I also love the admiral ornament. I concur with Sheila...the hearts give it a very romantic appeal. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays
