We were out shopping earlier this month and saw the display of trees all decorated at Macy's. The wine tree looked so cute as did several others so we went on down to Pottery Mart and bought some little table top trees on sale.
Then when the ornaments were 50% off I went back for the wine ones.
While riding the escalator down I was chatting with another shopper about this and told her of my plans to invite some friends over to play Wineopoly (a version of Monopoly that uses wine types for property names).
Once I had all the ornaments up and the table laid out I felt like the tree still needed a garland. So I rounded up some small corks of various sizes and glued them to some variegated purple crochet thread and finished off the tree.
I am looking forward to a fun gathering and spent the day in the kitchen cooking up some 'goodies'. This tree was my extravagance this year that I will share with friends and family. And remember the friends and family out in wine country that we are not able to be with this day.
