A time when the gift bag is a gift!
How perfect!
We found “Eve” on Christmas Eve 2006 in the cattle trailer on Nina Bay Farm. Apparently someone was depositing kittens in trailers parked at the Sale Barn a couple of days earlier. How’s that for a strategy to find homes for animals?
Eve did not have an opportunity to climb a Christmas tree in 2006. She did climb Christmas trees the next two years. The tree did not fall over.

“Eve” was a Christmas present to us Christmas “Eve” of 2006. (She should NOT be on the table cloth.)
If trees could talk….
The six sparkly cane shaped ornaments were my first purchase (early 1970s). I remember the Christmas Shop well. It was July in North Carolina! The shop was cool! Full size trees were decorated to the max. Enchanting. Delightful.

According to the history on their website, they downsized and closed the business for 90 days in 2008. It has since reopened and sounds delightful as I remember.
For more than twenty years I had fresh-cut Christmas trees, they are not talking. About twenty-five years ago, when “more was more”, I bought this little tree to be a “theme” tree in my master bedroom. The vision: white lights and blown glass ornaments. That plan was in effect for several years. When my stepdaughter insisted on decorating a Christmas tree each Thanksgiving weekend, she claimed this little one for her room the next 10 years. The decorations were all of her choosing.
After a seven-year storage period, our littlest tree regularly appears with ornaments selected to remind us of our angels Anne, Grandma Sophie, Kathy and beloved cat Shelby. Merry Christmas to all!
