Glimpses of Christmas Day Three: French Inspired Foyer Tree

Our French inspired Foyer Christmas Tree

I designed and handmade all of the ornaments on this tree from an 
obsolete book someone had thrown away.  I have to admit that as a lover of books, it made me quite uncomfortable tearing pages even from a book that was in an irreparable stage.
I love how the tree turned out, and it's the first thing one sees when they walk into our home...

As time consuming as it was to handcraft each ornament,
I think these paper cuties came out really nice.
From wine corks to hemp twine, I love the natural elements in each of the ornaments...


These adorable paper birds are my favorite...



My Book Page Angel Tree Topper completed the elegant look
of our French inspired foyer Christmas Tree...
