Ahead of schedule

This weekend Sean and I got our tree, which historically is probably the earliest I've ever gotten a tree up! Feeling put out by the huge tree farms, I called around until I found Totoket Tree Farm in North Branford, CT. It's a small farm and the cut your own trees were only $40. As with so many other things, it's always better to support local businesses instead of going to lots where the trees are trucked in from Canada.

For our little trip to the tree farm I decided to wear my new fleece vest and my gorgeous new monogram necklace from Get Personalized Jewelry. The statement making 2" monogram is a beautiful shiny 18k gold plated sterling silver. It came in a cute gift box and included a polishing cloth. I love the idea of giving personalized gifts and Get Personalized Jewelry has so many options! Since the turn around time is about 15 days, orders should be placed soon to get pieces by Christmas.

The Christmas season is underway and I'm looking forward to getting my tree decorated, wreath up, gifts wrapped (when I finish shopping of course) and taking in as much of the holiday as I can.

    For the past few years, we've been pretty on the ball about getting our decorations up, but this year to be totally honest, we aren't even sure we're going to bother - although it did snow this morning which has me feeling a bit more in the holiday spirit! With that said, I think the idea of going to a tree farm is pretty much the cutest and this outfit is the perfect mix of practical for, you know, actually cutting down a tree, and stylish :)

    Good for you two! I just know that this year I will be way behind schedule and it makes me so sad! I love your vest! The color looks great with your sweater!

    My tree is still not up, but I did get most of my shopping done. I love this furry vest so much I wish I could justify getting it.

    Oh wow - 40.00 USD is a good price for a Christmas tree. Here they are super expensive. I should be buying mine brought in through refrigerated containers over the weekend.
