Not exactly the North Pole or a bygone era postcard from the Currier and Ives collection (unless…read moreboth have been relocated near Shanghai) but the Christmas Tree Shop never fails to motivate the acquisition of one or two extra baubles for my extremely crowded artificial tree. This year it's a set of unadorned glass ornaments as my present stash seems to be nothing more than a travelogue of Christmas Past... really tired of the Walt Disney World Ornament set from 2002 and where in the world did that Wawa ornament come from... I think I'll steer clear of the four foot Elf on the Shelf with the especially Satanic looking illuminated head and the plastic lobster bib adorned with Santa's chubby visage. Every year I visit pretending to "just browse" and every year they crowbar my wallet in the true spirit of the season. Christmas greetings from Shanghai. Five oscillating LED stars.

When I was in my 20s, a very long time ago, my friends and I would drive up to the Cape where The…read moreChristmas Tree shops originated and they were part of the draw! We were young, decorating our first homes, had limited income, and the items and their prices were too good to pass up! While the name says Christmas, the store has items for the house that are not holiday themed. Think of it as a Bed, Bath & Beyond merges with a Dollar store and produces a store somewhere in between. On a recent trip home to NJ, I was super excited to see that a Christmas Tree shop had opened in my old neighborhood. But my excitement turned to disappointment as soon as I entered the store. Everything was in a disarray and was random, no sense of order and logic. Had my memory failed me? Was it always like this but because of where I was at that point in my life, I didn't notice? Say it isn't true! I loved The Christmas Tree shops and still have a pasta set I bought, white with a pattern of black olives and green leaves. This day a huge crate of Santa's, penguins and reindeer greeted one upon entering; they were cute. They still sell lots of note cards and thank-you notes for a buck or two. However the Christmas Cards were priced the same as other stores. Still have lots of tea and a random assortment of food products, like a ginormous canister of cheese curls, but nothing I would buy. Left without buying anything and most likely won't stop in again. It wasn't the price range because I love a good Dollar Store. The content within the store just had no appeal for me.

Wildly overpriced and the showroom was a little strange, everything is just scattered around. We…read morewere quietly greeted and then followed around at an awkward distance by a sales associate, she was kind of hovering but within ear shot so she'd comment on our quiet conversation about the furniture. I had told her were were just looking around and she handed us her business card right away and said ok. We then walked away only to find her pop up right behind us every single time we paused to look at a piece of furniture. It was uncomfortable to shop here with this sales tactic. Some of the furniture was nice and looked like it could be from this decade, but not for us. Could have been a better experience if the sales team wasn't so awkward.

I initially sought help with redesinning my bedroom and that led to our living room project. I'll never forget how Kate came to my home, sat down and channeled inspiration from a piece of furniture I inherited from my mother! She presented a color theme and from that created a design based on my interests and tastes. The results far exceed my expectation, the elegance and beauty evokes for me spiritual connections with my mother's and grandmother's sense of decor while reflecting my life's experience and own style! Thank you Kate for your gift and eye for design! I am eternally gratefu!
