Hope you all are having a great week and enjoying the autumn weather before it leaves us for good! I included links for the green tree and the silver tinsel tree, but, unfortunately, I can’t find the white tree. I bought it 5-7 years ago online (but I don’t remember where). If by chance I do find it, I will mention it and link it in a future video. I did see that Wayfair carries a similar champagne shaded tree that looks lovely.
Alas, all our glorious Maine foliage has left us already! tut tut, it has been a very blustery day! Warmest Regards, Melinda
I plan to use your woodland trèe for next year
You are most definitely the most creative person I’ve ever watched--never any repeats, always beautiful and interesting. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!❤️❤️❤️
I concur! Always fabulous and ingenuity abounds!!
You are so talented and thrifty.i can't believe your ideas.blessed Cmas to you
There's no way I can pick one tree over the others, I love all three. Your silver tree looks a lot like an old fashioned feather tree. I enjoy my Tuesday morning coffee a little more than other days because I have you to watch to start my day on a bright note. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness! There are no words to describe how beautiful your trees are, thank you for sharing you amazing gift with us!
Boy! I never thought I would like a white tree, but yours takes the cake! Beautiful! I really love the silver with the vintage ornaments too. And truly, the rustic traditional tree is so creative and unusual. Very well done, of course.🥰😍👍❤🎄🎄🎄
All the trees were beautiful, and I’m so happy you didn’t fill the trees with ribbon...I love beautiful ribbon, but the trees today aren’t seen because they are loaded with ribbon and huge ornaments...I especially liked the green tree as it reminds me of our trees I decorated when my 5 children were young...what precious memories...Thank you for your excellent tutorials...I always enjoy them...♥️🎄🎁❄️☃️
Oh. My. Lands. I'm totally crushing on your white tree! I need more sticks! So gorgeous, all of them. You're the bestest! 😍🥰
Thanks, Kimberly! I was struggling to find enough sticks in my yard. I was considering hunting in my neighbor’s yard, too!😜
You are by far my favourite DIYer! Your level of creativity is evidence of your high IQ. You are truly BRILLIANT!! Thank you for sharing your enormous gifts with us. And to make you even more lovely, you are kind, thoughtful, care about the environment, you love birds and animals, and you are enormously humble about it all. How positively lovely you are!! I Love the Green natural tree the most. I am an outdoors person who loves nature and animals more than anything. The beautiful rustic star adorning the top of your tree is the perfect finishing touch! Thanks again for sharing your ideas and creativity with us!
All three trees have their own personality. Difficult to pick a favorite when all three are beautiful.
You're such a wonderful teacher. Yes, I've recently learned that you are truly a teacher. I believe an English teacher? It's no wonder your projects are so easily followed. By far the best instructor on TH-cam I've encountered thus far. Thank YOU so much for sharing and making sure you explain and TEACH your ALWAYS wonderful projects. I simply love you!!! Take care now, and God Bless 👍👍👍👍🎄🎄👩🎓🥰
Beautiful! That tree collar is genius! Can't wait to try making one! I don't think I can pick a favorite tree they were all so pretty!
I’m so glad you liked the tree collar! 😊 Be sure to find boxes that are a bit taller than mine. I wish I had hunted down some taller ones.
That was my favorite, too!
I love how you show ways to repurpose items and use thrifted or found objects. The sticks and dried flowers from your yard were nice touches. I’ll be looking more carefully for fabric and other items the next time I’m out thrifting! Thanks! I liked the little tree because the ornaments reminded me of the ones from my childhood.
your trees are so beautiful, they brought tears to my eyes. i know they are artificial, but i could swear i smelled pine as i look at them. thank you for sharing your tree decorating tips with us.
Looks like I’m getting my trees out today. Your creative mind is amazing & so motivating! Your calm voice makes me feel assured that even I could do these things! Thank you for sharing!!
Loved them all. Im recovering from surgery and am not able to go out so this help inspire me to use more of what I have around my house and yard. God bless you.
Silver, Silver, Silver!!! I'm very traditional. My whole tree is hand-blown glass ornaments, glass garland, and glass icicles. And my favorite ornaments are the pine cones and the birds. Your old ornaments have the look of tradition and grace. It's beautiful!

The silver one is my favorite. A new way to display vintage ornaments.
Your tinsel tree touched me and reminded me of the one we had when I was a child. We had the color wheel and I can still remember the droning sound of the motor...a comforting memory, indeed. Love those vintage ornaments. I'd love to find a set myself that included the grapes and pineapples that were my childhood favorites. It's strange how nostalgia takes hold as you age.
I had one too as a kid! It took me back as well. I still remember asking my mom for a real tree but she didn’t want a mess so this was what we had.
A few of the vintage ornaments are from my childhood, but most have been purchased at antique malls. If I see one that reminds me of those we had as a child, I have to get it!😊
Yes!! I was thinking the same thing! I had them too! My sweet grandma had so many of the ones miss sherry is showing ❤️Next week I plan to show the ornaments I have left from my granny on my channel!
Normally I wouldn't choose a white tree but your idea of layering made it myfavorite.
Good Morning, Sherry! I have been totally decorated since November 4th. My granddaughters (2 and 6) think Mimsy's house is a magical place!! My jaw-droppers this week? I had three!!! 1) Clustering like ornaments with wire to make a bigger statement. Definitely doing that next year. 2) The cardboard box/ thrifted scarf tree skirt! O.M.Gosh!!!! and 3) The plethora of ways you find to use sticks from your yard! You must have a LOT of trees! Thank you, my friend, for this delightful video. And thank you for posting before dawn each Tuesday. I'm a very early riser and you make my Tuesdays so very special!
I’m sure Mimsy’s house IS magical (because you live there)! BTW I was struggling to find enough sticks from my yard. I have one tree that drops branches year around, but of course, when I needed a bunch, there were very few to be found!😜
I liked all of them, especially the silver tree. It enhanced the bright and the delicate colors of the vintage bulbs. Good choice. Liked that you made a collar. Thanks for the musical ornament ideas from an earlier video.
That had to be the most beautiful white tree Ive ever seen. You are so talented and your home is beautiful .
I watch a lot of Christmas decorating videos and I have to say that this is one of the best. You showed good, do-able, beautiful ideas and I thank you very much!
My favorite tree is the red one. I have a soft spot for red and green this time of year. I must also say that of all of the tree collars I've seen on the internet this season - yours is my favorite. Thank you again Sherry for so many wonderful ideas!
I love them all. I completely agree with you about the use of ribbon. You make me feel good just watching your videos. Very thankful for you Sherri
Most different handmade decorations that Ive ever seen! They are beautiful, and the cardboard box, now thats creativity at its finest.. God bless your talent
The tree collar was so adorable when finished. They were all so pretty and festive. I liked the ornament that was a cross section of a tree with an image of a squirrel on it. Years ago I did a woodland Christmas tree and ornaments like that would have been brilliant with pictures of owls, squirrels, deer etc. Your imagination and creativity knows no bounds.
I am so mesmerized by a lot of your diys you are amazing. TFS a long time subscriber. God bless you and your family and friends
Thank you so much, Tucker. 😊 I actually made those woodland animal ornaments in a previous video. Did you miss it? th-cam.com/video/4rOu50IB1x4/w-d-xo.html
I like them all! I specially like how the rustic star looks with the sticks or branches on top of the tree 😍
I love the natural one best! I put mine up on November 4th in remembrance of my husband. I decorate with fall leaves and words of inspiration, etc…family, gathering, home, love. After Thanksgiving I remove the words and add my rusty/natural looking homemade ornaments. I did little tree ornaments one years using my husbands old shirts and Cinnamon sticks. I just cut into strips and tied them onto the sticks and then shaped it up into the shape of a tree. The kids loved having a keep sake.
I don't have a favorite of the three trees because I love all of them equally. Thank you for your creative creations.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I love that you don’t go out and purchase new items, but use what you have or what you can create! Each tree was beautiful and unique in it’s own way!!!🎄😊🎄
I have so many vintage ornaments due to how long i have been alive and inheriting them. I loved what you did with yours. Remember tinsel? It was so messy but as a kid we loved throwing at the tree. Then the kitty would eat it. What a fun episode and brings back so many memories. Blessings
I'm very vintage myself, so my favorite tree is the silver one. I never thought about using larger houses beneath it. It's beautiful! I might try my antique feather tree like this. You always put me in a festive mood, even if I believe I don't have the energy to put everything together. My problem is I have several custom art pieces to finish, gifts to make, and all the decorating. Oh, and my special cashew brittle that everyone expects to get. Aaah, Christmas!
All of these ideas are fantastic! The toppers on both trees are beautiful ! The idea of clustering ornament balls on a string of wire is very unique. I’m definitely going to add that one to my tree this year🎄
All beautiful but I think I like the white one best!
Just BEAUTIFUL! I have those same vintage ornaments! Since my tree has been rustic for the past few years, I put my vintage and special ornaments is a large clear bowl. One of the ornaments was made by my mother when I was five, and I'm 68 now. Than you so much for your inspiration and helping us live a beautiful life on a budget
ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL..... MY FAVORITE IS THE GREEN TREE WITH THE RED PLAID COLLAR WITH THE ADDED BUTTONS.......NICE......
Sheri ~ you are The Best on TH-cam, hands down. Love each of the trees, but would pick the little vintage tree at the end. I live in a small condo (limited space!). Plus, I'm almost 74, so the vintage tree fits my space , and brings back memories.
They all gorgeous , but the silver one with beautiful colorful ornaments and white little houses is my favorite!!
The little silver one is incredible!
The tree collar was genius, and so effective! I love your eclectic style 🎄 I love all the trees for their differences 💚
I love the green tree, so traditional! If you keep showing us to create things we need, like the wooden star, we won't have to go out to buy them! Love the stick idea, love to bring nature inside! Have a great week!
Beautiful trees! I love a woodland theme! In the old days people used to wait until Christmas Eve to set up the tree and leave it up for the twelve days of Christmas.
All of the trees are beautiful but, my favorite is the white tree. OMG! So beautiful!
Beautiful all three🎄. I love how you do the backs on your projects. You are simply the best❤
All great ideas but that tree collar is brilliant!
Mrs. Queen here! ❤️ Sooooooooooo beautiful!!!!! Thank you for sharing your talents! Blessings! ❤️❤️❤️
This video really gave me the serious Christmas feels!!! I thought my favorite tree was the white one, until I saw the glittery tree with the beautiful colorful vintage ornaments!! Thank you!!
Oh my gosh!! I can not choose just one and this is the most informative tree set up that I have ever seen. So, so creative with things around the house and yard. Thank you so much!! ❤
Oh, I am so glad that I could share some ideas with you, Tammy! 😊
Good morning Sherry ! That white tree is so pretty! I have never seen one like that. I thought it was going to be flocked tree….no…the needles are white. I love that!
All 3 trees are stunning. Love your box tree skirt…so clever to use cardboard and cover it with your choice of fabric. Grand idea to use bird houses deep in the tree. I love everything about each tree !
I knew your trees would be phenomenal and you did not disappoint ❤️🌲❤️ I almost wish I could do a big tree again after seeing yours!
THANK YOU for sharing your talent and ideas with us ! Sweet soul you are ! ❤️❤️🌲🌲❤️❤️
All three were gorgeous and I would love to have in my home but I adore antique ornaments so the last small silver tree is my favorite ☺️
I’m sick in bed this Christmas Eve, and your vids are helping me relax and pass the time.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Both trees are beautiful. I loved the little tree with the vintage baubles. Took me back to my childhood ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄
Hello! I love all of your trees but the favorite is with the vintage ornaments. I have my grandparents ornaments from the 40s and 50s. Many of the ones you have I have!
All of the trees are absolutely beautiful!!! I especially loved the white tree… stunning!!!
Each tree had its own beauty.
I don't do Christmas. But love watching all of your videos. Even though I don't decorate for Christmas or any other holidays. I love your rustic decor. Is exactly how I like to decorate my home. So watching all of your videos. I get great ideas on how I like to decorate.
I understand not everyone decorates for Christmas or observes holidays, so I am glad I can give you some decorating ideas for your home. Thanks for watching and commenting, Katrina!😊
We may have been separated at birth....LOL! Your trees definitely prove that decorate with what makes you happy and you can't go wrong. All three of your trees are shimmering, graceful, and products of the caring spirit who adorned them. I learn so much from watching your channel. Thank you.
You are so very sweet, Lynn! Thank you so much for those kind words!
All the trees are lovely, but I love the green tree❤️🎄
The artist’s garden brought me here, but your creativity keeps bringing me back. I also love a sparse tree and thought I was the only one. My tree inspiration this year, is the tree from the movie The Bishop’s Wife. I used rolls of crystals intended for chandeliers as garland for that added sparkle. I also used your idea and brought in some branches from my red twigged dogwood, they look beautiful! Thank you for putting up your decorations early to share with us, you really are an inspiration.
These trees are all so beautiful. I have to say I’ve never been interested in white trees, but I can now see the beauty of the natural monochrome feeling. I’ve never thought of putting in sticks, bundles or dried flowers from the yard but that added a lovely rustic touch with the browns and whites. As always, lots of ideas to put in the hopper! Thanks!
Thank you for those kind comments! 😊 I’m so glad I was able to share some ideas with you, Stephanie!
I loved the rustic elements with the white tree too : )
All of them were beautiful but the small silver one with the vintage ornaments was my favorite!
I love all of the trees. Every time you say, in case you missed last week's video, I always think who would do that? I anxiously await Tuesdays now. Thank you.
You are so sweet, Debbie!🥰
That throated scarf tree box…wonderful!!
I Really love the vintage ornaments, but my favorite is the green tree! So hard to pick ! They are all Beautiful!
They are all gorgeous, but there is something so special about the vintage ornament tree. Need to find one for myself!
I purchased mine from Amazon a few years ago, but it is still available. I have it linked in the description box. It is a little pricey but I love how stiff the branches are, so I can easily adjust them to arrange my ornaments.
Oh my! So cozy and inviting and just really beautiful. You are so inspirational and it makes me want to get my tree up today! Thank you for showing how to make it more free-form and artistic. I struggle every year to make mine look like the photo of the more traditional trees. I think I will try to make mine more like your green woodland themed one and more artistic!
Thank you, Rhonda! I never thought of my trees as “artistic.” What a lovely compliment!😊
@@CanterburyCottage they really are! And I always have difficulty trying to make my tree perfectly uniform and box store “perfect” when I can make it a work of art like yours!
Sherry,
These trees are Amazing and Gorgeous. It’s hard to choose a favorite but I’m going to say the Vintage one is my 1st as I love vintage, then the white one as it absolutely stunning and the green one is equally awesome with its rustic woodsy theme. TYFS your amazing talent.
I loved the green one and all the natural decorations. But, all of the trees were stunning. And that silver one - absolutely gorgeous with all the vintage ornaments! You are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
The white and the green trees are stunning, if room permitted, I would leave them up all winter. But that colorful antique tree screams Christmas in the most beautiful way.
I am horrible at tree decorating, so a few years back I invested in one of those flocked skinny green trees. I add large pine cones and birds and call it done. My husband made a collar for the bottom out of old pallet wood.
You have me wanting to dig out my other trees, and try again.
All 3 were fabulous, but I would say the green one was my favorite. I've never seen a tree collar before, but I see one in my future. 😉
Those trees are the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. You certainly have a talent for everything you do. I really can't decide a favorite. They are all perfect.
Thank you so much! Not having a mother or grandmother or maternal figure in my life , you present a maternal mentor feelings to me..i really needed this for myself this year
I really appreciate you going through the process of creating a Christmas tree collar- I have looked at these a Target & Lowe’s and they are very expensive & I liked the red plaid that you covered the box with. I look forward to Tuesdays because of your creative posts.
All your trees were unique and beautiful! You inspired me to make my own tree color this year. They run about $25.00-$75.00 depending on materials used. I think your tree color was as beautiful and waaay cheaper than store bought.
Hard to pick a favorite ... loved them all. I do love vintage and rustic though, so I guess I would pick one of those. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful trees. My favorite was the green tree cuz I'm a woodsy kinda gal. TFS
Love your style. These trees are beautiful. Every year I think I'm going to change up the theme of my tree decorations, but when I pull them out, I have to use them as I have memories tied to most! So it's always a red, white & green tree for me🙃
I love hearing "lets get started !" . I love all the trees for different reasons, but if I had to pick just one for my house I think it would be the green nature tree. Great job as always, you have the magic touch! My Christmas tree {real Frasier Fir} is usually covered with vintage ornaments which remind me of my childhood, as well as having some rustic ones such as glass pinecones.
I too have a bunch of sticks when I cut my plant down , I let them dry and now ready to be spray paint white and adding lights to it to display in my front patio, I look for more to do for the tree. Love the bird houses in the tree , the green tree my favorite , but the vintage is gorgeous ,bought back great memories as the tree I used my very first Christmas with my first son underneath for pictures. So cute .you are an amazing decorator and diy , I’ll e all your videos. Thank you, for sharing such great ideas.
Dear Sherry, It's your virtual friend again. Oh my, what beautiful creations you have made; I am always impressed. I learned last week from the video you recommended that you are a former teacher -- me, too. I taught for forty-one years, thirty-eight of those in my hometown. I think that's why I like you so much, not counting your tremendous creativity. Take care, enjoy the holidays, and be safe. I look forward to next week. Liz
Hello. Love the homemade tree collar idea. While all the trees were lovely, my favorite is the vintage ornament one. It reminds me of my grandma and great aunt. Thank you Sherry!
I’m an old soul, and I must pick your green tree with all the red trimming as my favorite. They were all beautiful but if I could re-create one it definitely would be the green. Thank you for all of your Christmas ideas. I look so forward to Tuesdays.
They were all beautiful, but the little silver tree was so elegant! Perfect with the little winter houses under it :-)
I loved all the trees. You have given so many ideas to make the trees beautiful. I have some of the vintage ornaments, so I need to find a small silver tree. Thank you.
The little silver one with the vintage ornaments is adorable ☺️ all of them are just so beautiful you’re soo creative! Would love to just hang out with you and craft all day! ☺️
I love the plaid tree skirt ,a lot of work awesome you get a gold 🌟 for all your hard work ,love them both ,love you and yours ,from my 💞 to yours ,love is the key 🌲🍂🌿🍁🍃🌾
I love them all ❤🤍❤🤍❤
I'm so happy that your channel has grown so much. I'm not surprised but I am happy. 🙂 now I can say I "knew" you way back when. 🤍
Thank you, DeAnna! You are so so sweet!😊
I truly could not pick a favorite... all your trees were lovely. I also have a small special tree with vintage ornaments on it.. my Daddy dies just before Christmas on year and there was a Christmas tree in the hospital hallway which the nurse gave me one ornament. It's not my most elaborate tree but it's certainly one I admire with love! Thank you for sharing!
Way behind, but the green one was my favorite. I love the natural rustic elements. The buttons really gave a nice pop on the collar too.
Thank you, Lindsey! The green tree is my favorite, too!
This video is beyond helpful! I can never figure out how to make my tree more full but now I have a list! You're the best!
All three trees were just stunning but the one that spoke to me the most was the white one! The ornament colors were so beautiful and it just literally glowed with such a gorgeous light!! Love your channel for all the inspiration and good feels I get from it!! 💖
All of the trees were absolutely stunning. The tip of bundling ornaments was one of my favorite tips and I am gonna use that with some ornaments this year. We still do a live tree and when we go to look for one I always try to pick a tree that is sparse with lots of space between branches so there is more room to hang ornaments. I always call it my Charlie Brown tree. I have so many ornaments it’s the only way I can get them all on. I have lots of homemade ornaments, from both my children and myself, and also tons of vintage ornaments that I inherited from parents and grandparents. I look forward to Tuesday mornings and spending it with you and a nice cup of coffee. 🥰
I have never seen a white tree that I liked until today! It is beautiful! I really love the star topper on the green tree. Such a wonderful video!
I loved all three trees. They're all unique & beautiful in their own way. I have some of the vintage, glass ornaments but I don't use them since I got kitties. One day I'll be able to use them again but I think the trade off is worth it. Another wonderful video.
I loved them all. The white one was my favorite 🤩
Too hard to pick one. I have been looking for a white tree. Seeing your decorated white tree I know why. I honestly love them all. What a creative eye you have. You can see the beauty in natural things. AWESOME Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! The little silver tree with the vintage ornaments is soooo beautiful and makes me feel very nostalgic. All three trees are fabulous and the tree collar is an excellent addition to the woodland theme.
The little tree makes me feel nostalgic, too, It contains some ornament from my childhood.😊
My favorite tree was the green one! It just makes me think more of the outdoors and nature than the other two. However the others were beautiful also! The little tree reminds me of the small tree my parents have always put up with glass and brass ornaments from when we were little. ☺️
