Candyland Tree. . .

Hello and welcome to candyLand!

Didn’t you love playing that game as a child?

If you’ve read my last few posts then you know that there’s a whole lot of Sugar and Spice going on over here at my house.

We certainly couldn’t forget the tree.  Last year I bought a new 9 1/2 ft. slim tree for my family room.  It was decorated with my birds and mercury glass ornaments.  This year I switched that to the living room and the family room and kitchen have officially became ‘Candyland’.

We Have gingerbread men and gumdrops…

A few houses, cupcakes, and candy canes. . .

I think "Candyland Christmas Tree" is certainly the perfect name - very cute!

Jann,
Your candyland tree is delightful. What a great idea. I love the gingerbread man and candy canes on there. I just made a small fairy tree myself because I love fairies. It looks like you are enjoying the Christmas season.

Smiles for all that gingerbread stuff. Don't you love that skinny tree? I like mine fine. it's not as tall as yours. I have to use all my old things from when my girls were small. One year I did a huge victorian tree...I had the blues from missing all the old things my daughters would hang on the tree. So it was back to my old tree and things.xoxo, Susie

Hi! My Candyland/Gingerbread tree in my kitchen is my favorite tree. I keep saying I will do a different theme, but I love all those "sweets" without any calories! Needless to say...I absolutely love your tree! It looks delicious! =D

Vicki @ lifeinmyemptynest said...

Hi Jann. I am here to catch up, and see that I have missed a lot!!! Love your candy land tree! So sweet!!! I bought a tall skinny tree like that a few years ago, and I love it. It fits the space in our living room so much better than the big fat trees we have had in the past. This year, for the first time since losing my father, I was able to open up my box of ornaments that we have been collecting for the 33 years we have been married. So many are gifts from my Dad, who always called me mouse. I collected mice, mostly from him, and I have many mouse ornaments. My tree is loaded full this year, and I think my Dad is smiling in heaven.
LOVED your tribute post to your inlaws. I too share your love or farmhouse style! So many pretty things you posted!! And then before that one too....love the sweets and things!!!
I have been so darn busy. But I am trying to rest up and catch up!!
Hugs,
Kris

What a lovely tree, decorated so sweetly! And despite being laden with such tempting treats, the tree is able to keep its slim figure ;)
