German Twig Tree Question??

Ladies I am looking to change up my choice of Christmas Trees this year. I want my trees to have more of a primitive appearance. I decided to go with the German Twig or German Vienna Twig Tree. I have searched the Internet for days looking for the best price and so far I am leaning towards http://www.christmascentral.com/. Here is a tree from their site.
It looks like what I am looking for but it says in the description it has green and brown branches. I thought German Twig Trees had all brown branches. Does anyone out there use this kind of tree at Christmas? Do you know of a better site to purchase these trees from maybe? The 5 foot tree is $59.99 and the 6 foot tree is $84.99. I am wanting one of each size. This was the most reasonably priced site I found for these trees. My vision is to adorn my trees with the brown cord lights, popcorn and berry garland (which is another item I am searching for at a discount price) and dried fruits (again another needed item).

Let me know what you think about this tree and if you have any suggestions for where I might look further. I believe the shipping was free on this site but I will look that over better if I order from there.

Have a fabulous day everyone and I am praying that all my blogging friends are safe after all the storms that have been hitting everywhere.

Blessings,
AMY

*** I FORGOT TO ADD THAT I WILL BE HANGING MY CINNAMON ICICLES THAT I BOTH WON AND PURCHASED FROM MELISSA AT FARM FIELD PRIMITIVE GOODS ON MY TREE AS WELL. THEY ARE FABULOUS!!

So Very Blessed

I cannot count the many times I have been blessed by winning giveaways from so many special blogging friends. As luck would have it, I have won a few more times. This gives me such pleasure that I could just burst. It is so nice receiving special things in the mail and the best part is they are free. I can adorn my home with things I so dearly love and I don't have to justify the expense. Does it get any better than that!!

Well a few weeks back I won a giveaway from Linda at http://parkersparadise.blogspot.com/. My prize was to be some past issues of Country Sampler Magazine. Linda asked me if I was a subscriber to the magazine and since I was, she adjusted my winnings. That was the most thoughtful gesture ever. Linda I need to apologize for this picture though. My camera is not working so I chopped one of the pictures from your blog to show my cinnamon corn bowl fillers. You really need to see them in person to take in all the detail of them. I also received a cookbook. Sorry no picture of it. I have an addiction to cookbooks and this one was fabulous. I love down home recipes and this cookbook fit the bill. Thank you Linda for hosting this giveaway and for drawing my name.

On to my next win. Melissa from http://farmfieldprimitives.blogspot.com/, hosted this next giveaway and she had two prizes to win. I was the lucky recipient of this fabulous prize.


Again I had to borrow this picture from Melissa's site. I hope no one minds me doing this. I have never owned a prim Santa and this little guy is just so precious. I'm anxious to add him to my Christmas decor this year. The second gift I received were these cinnamon icicles to hang on my tree. I was so impressed with them that I had to order three more sets from Melissa from her selling blog http://www.farmfieldprimitivegoods.blogspot.com/.

I want to thank both of these ladies for being so generous with their talents and their giving. Please stop and visit both of their blogs and sign on to be followers if you aren't already. They both have such wonderful things to write about and I know you will be glad you did.

Blessings to all,

~Fall Swap Goodies Have Arrived~

Good Tuesday morning friends. Isn't this time of year just beautiful. I love the smell of fall, the vibrant colors it brings with it and most of all the crisp mornings. Now I'm not big on the rain, cold and windy afternoons and the shorter days. I guess we can't have everything we want so I should just accept what I cannot change.

I want to share with you the Fall Swap Goodies I recently received from my new friend Vicki at http://thehogscaldholler.blogspot.com/. Vicki is a very talented crafter. I was thrilled when I received my package from her last week. Sorry once again for the poor picture quality. I am still taking them with my cell phone. I don't' know what is up with our darn camera. I want to get a new one but I really can't justify the purchase at this time.

First up is my little birdhouse. I'm not sure if Vicki made it or not. I love it either way.

This basket was what held all my goodies that Vicki sent. I have some apples somewhere that I want to add to it with maybe a nice homespun bow attached to it. Now if I just knew where I put the darn things. Don't you just love the little heart pin keep on the spool. What a sweet idea. Also included was this little cat made from wool. The leaf with the acorn on it is a pin. It is going right on my coat after I get this post done. What a perfect little gift it was.


This next little pumpkin has to be my favorite. There is just something so sweet about it. I had to get a close up of it so you could see the detail.



Here is my pumpkin with the rest of my mantle grouping.




I just love this rusty looking grasshopper. I have the perfect rock outside to perch it on but I think I will wait for spring to set it out. As for the birds nest, I believe I have a sweet little bird in my stash of goodies that will look just perfect in it.




This berry wreath is so nice. I thought it added something to this picture so I am probably keeping it where it is.

Thank you Vicki for everything you sent. I loved it all. I really appreciate the time you took making these things for me. I will treasure them and think of you every time I look at them.

I hope everyone has a beautiful fall like day.

Hugs and Blessings to all.
