Hi friends, I'm all for a real, honest-to-goodness, dragged-in-from-the-woods Christmas tree, but the truth is, I just don't have room for it in my apartment (or my budget!). So lately I've been checking out alternative Christmas trees, looking for something I could buy or, with a little elbow grease, make myself. Here are some of the ideas I've gathered:

• I love this "Modern Tannenbaum" from Silver Cocoon
• This Charlie Brown-esque tree sculpture could be used all year round, not just at Christmas (from Bunny with a Toolbelt)
• How sweet is this print (featuring a tree, of course) from Naokosstoop?
• This vintage papercut tree has me thinking about X-acto knives and green-covered foam core.
• Here's a tree and Advent calendar all in one!

Have you got any suggestions?
