Umbrella stands make the best Christmas tree stand

Umbrella stands make the best Christmas tree stands! I found ours for $5 at an estate sale this past summer. And it's literally a perfect fit! I love how pretty it looks as a tree stand, but I also like that it's heavy enough that I don't have to worry about the kids bumping the tree and knocking it off the dresser. 🙌🏻 If ya know, ya know...

Anyways, if you like the look, keep your eyes open at your local thriftd and on FB Marketplace for umbrella stands.

And send this post to your thrift-obsessed bestie so she can help you look for one! Two sets of eyes looking is always better than one. 👀👀

Guest bedroom's all ready, just in case Santa need

Guest bedroom's all ready, just in case Santa needs a nap before he heads to the next house! 🎅🏻🎄🦌🎁🤶🏻

This year we added two of the cutest @balsamhill trees to our Christmas decor... And I think they're the PERFECT size for a bedroom!

Aren't they so cute??

They're also on major sale right now and my code stacks for an even better deal... But if you LOVE it, don't wait. The smaller tabletop tree already sold out! And there are only a few of the bigger size left.

🎄🎄🎄 Comment "tree" and I'll send you the link + my code for $50 off!

Not the viral tree - the one my 10-year-old could chop down and drag into the house if he was HOME ALONE!

This pretty @balsamhill tree is the perfect HOME ALONE tree, and the perfect size tree for smaller spaces like your children's bedrooms or a guest room.

It's also on major sale for Black Friday and my code stacks for an even better deal... But if you LOVE it, don't wait. The smaller tabletop size already sold out!

It might not be this year's viral Christmas tree - but it was the perfect tree for the cottage and for my mom!

After the year she's had, I wanted mom to have a Christmas tree that would be easy for her to set up all on her own... just flip, fluff and decorate. And that's exactly what we found at @balsamhill

We picked out a flip tree from @balsamhill and if you've never seen their flip trees in action YOU'RE GOING TO FLIP!

Scroll to the second slide to see just how easy the flip tree is to set up.

And then keep on scrolling... My mom made the PRETTIEST quilt block ornaments & a quilt block star tree topper to go with them!

Y'all... I can't get over good they turned out! What do you think?

I don't care about this year's viral tree - I just wanted my mom to have a tree she could set up all on her own after battling cancer and making it to see another Christmas!

Because this time last year, we almost lost my mom... Construction had just begun at the cottage, and all the dreams and plans we'd talked about flashed before our eyes.

What about the grandkids? What about the house she and dad were building next door to our farmhouse? What about Christmas?

It's been a year, and she's still here y'all. And I'm happy to share that she's doing great! The cottage is finished now. My parents are all settled in their new forever home, and the grandkids LOVE having them right down the dirt road from us.

After the year she's had, I wanted mom to have a Christmas tree that would be easy for her to set up all on her own... just flip, fluff and decorate. And that's exactly what we found at @balsamhill

Is it the viral tree all the other influencers are pushing? No... but between you and me, I think this one's even better!
