Tree Time!

Halloween is over and its time to put away the ghosts and skeletons! Time to get your thoughts together for this year's tree!

We have many request each year from people doing charity trees. Beautifully decorated trees are auctioned off and proceeds go to specific charities. Themes have been chocolate/peppermint; marine animals; ice cream treats; The Wizard of Oz and more. This is a great fundraiser and is "fun" work.

Now is a good time to get out your Christmas tree decorations, sort through them, discard damaged items and bring new life to the keepers. Color combinations are virtually unlimited. Old fashioned multicolor is always popular along with red/green; pink/green; brown/red with chocolate and peppermint; gold/white; silver/red; silver/blue; purple/pink; naturals with cones/berries/twigs/nest/nuts.

One of my favorites is the use of browns as in chocolates, light and dark mocha. Inge-Glas has large balls, chocolate and coffee items from the Cafe Espresso' collection that will bring a uniquely different theme to your decorating. These large balls look great on flocked trees, wreaths, tabletop decorations or scattered down the center of your dining table. Ornaments of Hot Chocolate - Ice Coffee - Chai Pur - mmmm Hot Chocolate - Espresso - Espresso Perk - are simply stunning! You won't find these at Wal Mart or Target! Check them out today.
