Photo from www.surlatable.comWe put up our two Christmas trees (the "family" one and the "fancy" one) over the Thanksgiving break, and I had been toying with the idea of buying a smaller third tree to put my baking/cake themed ornaments on it. I've amassed quite a collection in the 10 years since I started my cake business, although until the last few years, it used to be much more difficult to find these kinds of ornaments.
So we were at Lowe's today buying more Christmas lights (so cheap), and they had these little table-top Christmas trees in urns. They were charming and not tacky/cheap looking like usual. $15 for a third tree. I was almost ready to buy it and had it in my cart, but at the last minute I put it back on the shelf. I suprised myself. It just wasn't something I needed, merely something I wanted. We do have two other trees after all. Sometimes it sucks to be a grown-up, because the kid in me would have bought that tree and had it decorated and on display in no time flat!
But I'll still be thinking about a cupcake/cake/candy/baking tree for future years. And maybe it will look something like this:

That is perhaps the sweetest cupcake ornament ever. Check the trees AFTER Christmas. They are dirt cheap.
You are so right, Mrs. G! And maybe I can even write it off as a 'business expense' for my cake business?! Didn't think of that yesterday, darn. I have exerted such amazing self control in the ornaments aisle--so many cute cupcakes and sweets!
