  • I was asked how I come up with my decorating ideas. There are so many ways I'm influenced, but today I am sharing a Christmas tree I decorate with herbs from our garden and I explain how the idea came about. Following that is a tutorial on how I make paper stars to decorate trees, mantels, and so much more. #Christmastreewithherbs #decoratingwithherbs #newenglandhome #classicchristmas #traditionalhome #newenglandhome #foldedpaperstars

    Love the soft colors of the decorations you made for the butlers pantry. Your use of all the dried herbs and flowers is so beautiful. The star tutorial was well done and you explained every step of the project. Thank you for sharing this video.

    When this video opened with you holding the dried sage, my first thought was "That matches Linda's wallpaper!"

    Cute stars. Your energy and patience is boundless. I feel accomplished when I get the laundry washed and folded! 😂 Sugarwood is such a great, “Christmas House”. Everything in New England has that lovely Christmas feel to it. We are pondering living half the year in your neck of the woods, (hubby is from NH) and the other half where we are in NC. Maybe that’s too complicated. So pretty there. You are a good NH ambassador, Linda!

    Thanks for showing how you made the star. I have some sheet music that I want to age then make the stars to put on my tree. I’m also going to make some Christmas trees too. I finally found some brass vintage horns I’m also adding. I’m hoping it all turns out!❤

    I watched another YT channel where the lady glued two of the folded stars together to make a three dimensional star (rather than one flat side). I like them both. Yours look great!

    Hello Linda a wonderful idea the star 🌟. I need gold paper. It reminds me of the gold stars my grandmother had on her tree. I had forgotten about them. Thank you for bringing that memory back. My grandmother passed away Dec of 2009 same year my dog passed away on Christmas Day. A lovely project, plan on doing for next Christmas 🎄

    Linda, thank you for another fun video. Your creativity and talents never cease to amaze me. Decorating a tree with herbs is innovative; what a great idea for a butler's pantry or kitchen. Your stars are amazing. You are a great teacher. Looking forward to your next video. You never disappoint. God bless, Robert.

    I love this project! Easy, beautiful, and cost conscious. We use all our homemade goodies in our decor. The butler's pantry is so inviting, I bet it is enjoyable to grab a cup of coffee and linger in there. I just love everything you've done there!
    I haven't seen the wreath on sugar shack. They have battery-operated lights that you turn on once, and they turn on and off all year, so no cords or fuss.

    Love the tree in the Butler's pantry! The scent of the herbs must be wonderful.
    I'm trying to find electric candle lights. Would you mind letting me know where you purchased yours?
    I'm having a difficult time finding them. All I can find are the battery-operater ones. Cheers!
