I went shopping with a couple friends the other day and one mentioned that there was a tree skirt at Anthropologie that she was lusting after. She tried to rationalize spending the $178 on it by saying it would be an investment - that she would use it every year until the end of time. Sounds good, but may I suggest making your own tree skirt and passing it down to your kids so it gets used (and cherished) by generations to come? Designer Amy Butler has a free downloadable pattern for making your own tree skirt - now all you have to do is find some fabric (Amy Butler has some wonderful fabrics) and get to work!
