Chairs stacked together
mixed with stands of yellow lights.
Unique Christmas tree.
My husband and I went to Skagit Gardens Nursery last week. (Road Trip!) Our original purpose for driving the 25-ish miles to Mount Vernon was to get the fireweed honey we love from their Food Co-op. Our Food Co-op doesn't carry fireweed honey, sad to say. But that's another story. :)
I thought it would be fun to visit Skagit Gardens, since we were so close, and since I'd recently bought a Hellebore from their nursery at our favorite local Garden Spot Nursery. (Where I went to a fun class to learn all about them, but that's also another story. *grin*)
Skagit Gardens had their holiday displays up and we had a marvelous time going around admiring all the creative Christmas trees. This one really caught our attention. I mean, who would have thought all those old chairs and stools could create such a unique tree?
It's a joy sharing impromptu adventures with my husband.

Amazing!!! I've never seen anything like this before!!! Wisihng you a wonderful day!!! Cathy
Love the tree! xo Jenny
Don't you love the Co-op in Mount Vernon? I was introduced to it through La Conner Art Workshops lunch breaks (now Dakota Art Workshops) -- it's got the best deli in town. And fireweed honey. . . yum (though I get mine at the Pike Place Market). I haven't tried Skagit Valley Nursery. My destination of choice is Christianson's because it's a great venue for photo taking. The final bit of joy from visiting today is my verification word: hotti. I'm going to revel in being a hotti on this gray, damp day.
This makes me smile! I'd love to see it lit up at night!!!
P.S. Your delightful "Frumpy" heart is featured on today's Guest Heart Thursday! Thank you so much!!!

That chair tree is one of the most creative holiday decorations I've ever seen! Wonderful and joyous sharing- thanks!
Interestingly, this beautiful composition to form this beautiful tree.
what a creative idea.
Love the chair stack!
I, too, grow hellebores.
It took 4 tries until I figured out they won't grow under walnut trees.
Now I have a flourishing stand of them; they are so beautiful.
be still my heart!!!
i always love chairs..they seem to be forever saying welcome, come sit a bit and share your stories at the table of belonging.
this assemblage is pure jOY!!
That "tree" is certainly unique. Some people are so creative and adaptive. (and many of them are here on these blog pages!) I like the haiku and your story, and although my definition of a road trip is at least 100 miles in one direction, I'll accept your trip as it sounds like you had loads of fun and I have been homebound, sort of, for the past 8 weeks!
Peace
That is the coolest thing! I don't think I would have thought of a seat tree...ever. Thanks for sharing it and your perfect haiku♥♥♥
Now that's a cool tree.
unique, original, fabulous!
Impromptu adventures are the very best kind!
That photo is just perfect-says it all- so many lives stacked up and in a tangle....too deep? Okay then just merry merry and happy arty 2012 to you dear one. xxx
o how fun! merry merry to you and yours!
I Googled and went to the link for Skagit Gardens--wonderful. My son lives in Port Angeles. Your Christmas tree is unique and wondrous.
I think you can create Christmas joy out of just about anything can't you if you set your mind to it. It's great!
