We had a Christmas Tree Dilemma. The biggest room in our apartment is the living room, which has been turned into a studio for our various projects. It’s where we spend 90% of our time at home, and it is filled with tables (not one, not two, but three tables, two bookshelves, and a computer desk). Ground space is limited, so any tree would need to fit on one of those tables. A traditional 4′ or larger tree just wouldn’t work. I had heard rumors of fabulous little rosemary trees, but could only find them online for $40 and higher. (our entire budget for Christmas decor).
Imagine my surprise when we walked by a ginormous display of rosemary trees outside of Whole Foods. Even better? It was $12.99! Reading this article from Green Your Decor made me feel even better about choosing a reusable tree.

A $40 Christmas
I love it. I bet the rosemary smells delicious, too. The twinkle lights on glass in the window is such a pretty idea.
So simple and So pretty! Love this idea.
Your $40 Christmas is very pretty. I would have paid considerably more for the same effect.
The Rosemary Christmas tree is a great idea. It does look festive and its useful in the kitchen too. The sparkling glass and lights are beautiful as well. Nice one!

I put a link to this post from my miniature tree page. May I use your picture of the tree for that article?
