yes, let's talk about it

I realize what I'm about to say is way too early in the holiday season to be saying it, but let's let this one slide, shall we? I live in a tiny house.  And while I love the idea of decorating for the holidays with a big tree trimmed with lots of ornaments, we simply don't have the space.  So when I saw this lovely vignette from the J. Crew holiday gift guide, a little light bulb went on over my head.  I think a gilded branch suspended over our mantle with a few ornaments will be the perfect solution....so long as it doesn't turn out looking more "Charlie Brown Christmas" than "rustic chic".  Here's hoping.
