As I had mentioned on my last post about Christmas Tree inspiration. This year the Concord Museum is celebrating the 16th Annual Family Trees. A Celebration of Children's Literature. It will be held until January 1, 2012.
The families of Concord decorated all of the trees in the museum. I think this was one of my favorites.
Speaking of inspiration, I love to listen to the Carpenter's at Christmastime. Like Sleigh Ride.
For some enchanting English Christmas inspiration, you must stop by French Country Home and see the Silver Christmas Inspiration.
I just wrote a new post on my French Script Blog for a new Baby and Nursery Fabric Collection.
Pink Saturday is filled with Christmas inspiration. Stop by Bev from How Sweet The Sound to be inspired.
They are totally charming!
What a joy they must be, to visit.

The tree is ready, the candles alight:
Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight!"

Karen, I bet this exhibit was a lot of fun! Merry, Merry!!!
What a wonderful tree. Those ornaments are adorable.
That is my favorite Christmas song too. What a beautiful tree and idea for a holiday treat. Quite a lot of creativity there for sure. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Oh Karen,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! I WISH YOU A safe and pleasant drive to beautiful Vermont, and I send you a big hug and "THANK YOU" for your kind words.

Happy Pink Saturday! I'm pinking by 4's (my link is #104). As I was reading your post, I popped up to the sidebar for some reason . . . can't remember why now. I just love your profile photo. Concord? as in New Hampshire? I have a very good friend in New Hampshire and have driven down main street in Concord. The tree really is awesome. I think I'll browse here just a tad. I really need to clean house . . . with some Pinking in between. Thanks, Jenn
What beautiful photographs Karen!
This must have been a wonderful place to visit.
What wonderful decorations - I would love to spend the day at something like this - Happy Pink Saturday.

Oh how I love children's books and wish I could attend this event! What an adorable tree! I purchase a new children's Christmas book each year and delight in reading them all! Combine that with Karen Carpenter's beautiful voice and this is pure bliss.
