This little table-top tree is very special to me. I helped a group that was putting on a Festival of Trees by letting them use my office which is in an old mansion. The office was originally the butler's pantry and was located between the kitchen and dining rooms. The workers had to go around the locked office, down the main entrance hall and around into the dining rooms, very awkward. I put everything up in my office in the old glass-front cabinets.
When I came back to view all the trees (they were fully decorated and for sale to raise funds for the Children's Center - a place for kids who have to testify in court in abuse cases), my office had become a bake shop! I was delighted.
When it was all over and I came back to help with the clean-up, I was given this little tree which had a price tag on it of $100! I have altered it a little over the last 2 years, but is remains essentially the same. The theme is essentially purple and white. One of the best Christmas gifts I ever received...
