Christmas @ CCC

CCC

 

This is my smaller Christmas tree in the foyer. It is a great choice for folks with kids or grandkids or pets because everything is unbreakable. Here are some close-ups -

A Wonderful Christmas Tree - Update

Jackson Noble Fir Tree

 

I posted a year ago on my purchase of a new artificial Christmas tree. Yesterday I carried the storage bag in and in 10 minutes the tree was assembled, lit, and fluffed. And despite inflation and tariffs and such, the price has not gone up at all. I highly recommend this great tree at a great price if you are in the market for a new artificial tree. And next day delivery is free to your door depending on your location.

My post from last year -

"So, I wanted a new artificial Christmas tree for the great room. I was very interested in one with all the latest technology with the lights automatically connecting through the pole. I also wanted a noble fir, my favorite Christmas tree, and I really didn't feel like spending $1,000 or more for something sight unseen like some of the online Christmas tree stores.

The Tabletop Chinoiserie Tree

Carolyne Roehm

I love the idea of a tabletop tree using a blue and white ginger jar and decorated with citrus. Kumquats, clementines, mandarins, and tangerines are all great options. Floral wire can be used to attach the fruit.

Chinoiserie Ornaments

Set of 4 Blue and White Chinoiserie Ornaments

If you are looking for some special chinoiserie ornaments to add to your Christmas tree this year, here are my picks. I have many of these and they are beautiful.

Simple and Sophisticated

Lulu and Georgia

Are you making plans for your Christmas decorating? I am and I can't wait. I came across this tree and thought it was so charming. I might do this at CCC. It's a great idea for a second tree.

A Blue and White Chinoiserie Christmas

Chinoiserie Christmas Tree Skirt

 

I found a wonderful blue and white chinoiserie Christmas tree skirt that I am getting for CCC. I put up several Christmas trees and this will be perfect for one of them!

Needlepoint Icon Ornaments

Needlepoint Bow Icon Ornament

For the ones who know that personality belongs on the tree. These cheeky needlepoint ornaments celebrate your favorite things—whether it's a martini, a slice of pizza, or a passport stamp. Hand-stitched and backed in luxe velvet, they’re festive, funny, and just the right amount of extra.

The Epiphany

Downton Abbey

 

I was brought up that you leave the tree up until the Epiphany. I have always loved the tradition of it and that it extends the season. What is this tradition?

The Palm Frond Christmas Tree @ CCC

CCC

 

Isn't this fun for a Florida Christmas? The tree was delivered yesterday morning and it was up and decorated before noon. And it is dog proof, cat proof, kid proof, and guest proof. All the decorations are unbreakable from the topper that is an Amanda Lindroth mini wicker Birkin basket down to the sheepskin tree skirt and everything in between.

Christmas Decorating @ CCC & Black Friday

CCC

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am almost finished with my Christmas decorating and it feels great to have it done early. Now I can relax and it enjoy it. I am extremely happy with my new artificial Noble Fir Christmas Tree that I posted about here. I love everything about this tree from the realistic needles and dark blue green color, shape, size, the insanely easy light technology and setup, and the price and free shipping.

For those who collect Christoper Radko's gorgeous ornaments, here is a blue and white chinoiserie one called Chinoiserie Bloom. This would make a lovely Christmas gift for the chinoiserie lover.

The merriest of Christmases to everyone and may your day be all you wish it to be. As 2023 winds down, I am so thankful to have had a truly wonderful and happy year and hope the same is true for you. Here are some pictures of my Chinoiserie Coastal Christmas tree - I love this tree that combines my favorite things like ginger jars, seashells, monkeys, coral, wicker, pagodas, and sea life. Thanks for following Chinoiserie Chic and warmest Christmas wishes to you and yours.

Pink for Christmas

Estelle Colored Glass

 

Red and green are of course classics at Christmas, but there are so many wonderful color choices. I love these colors - a pink tree and pink decanter with pops of blue and green.

Estelle has some gorgeous limited edition pieces for the holidays great for entertaining or for Christmas gifting. I especially love the fuchsia.

The Tiny Chinoiserie Christmas Tree

Southern Living

 

Small tabletop trees can be quite fabulous - this is a great chinoiserie example. Here is how to create this for your Christmas decorating -

The Chinoiserie Christmas Tree

Matthew Bees - House Beautiful

This year I am going to use a blue and white Chinese fishbowl for one of my Christmas trees. When I posted on this idea last year, several people wanted to know how to stabilize the tree - we don't want broken ornaments!
