The Christmas Tree!

 
 
Our fresh balsam fir tree was delivered this past Wednesday. I had ordered it from a tree farm in Nova Scotia called, Porter River Christmas Trees. A 6 ft tree was $80.00 (+gst) with my $10.00 loyalty discount. The price includes delivery and set-up (if required). John from Porter River texted me the day of our requested delivery with an estimated drop off time. It is so nice to have the tree delivered and not deal with transporting it home yourself. The tree is so incredibly green and fragrant!
 
The trees are stored in a temperature-controlled compartment so they aren't frozen when received. This prevents them from drying out too quickly and going into shock. Did you know you can also place an order as a gift? What a great idea!
 





What type of tree do you have? Douglas fir, Scotch pine, spruce, or maybe, faux??

Happy Halloween!

A few weeks ago, we took a trip to Nova Scotia and stopped in a lovely town called Mahone Bay. We were  just in time for the town's annual scarecrow festival! When a friend of mine saw my photos of the scarecrows  she said, "I can't decide if they're cute or creepy". I wasn't sure myself at the time, but I was most certainly taken with the Georgian neoclassical architecture of the homes. This isn't really a decorating post but I thought these images would be fun to share for Halloween (cute or creepy). Have a fun Halloween tomorrow!
