Charlie Brown Christmas Trees
Whenever one of the trees in the yard grew a little lopsided, we called it a Charlie Brown tree. Of course, we would never cut them down for the holidays. They were the wrong species on top of that.
I was alerted by One of a Kind Wisconsin that this year, Charlie Brown Christmas trees were being sold. Michelle found it in Mill’s Farm & Fleet 2008 Trim & Gift Catalog. I also found that 18″ versions are available at Sears. A 24″ version is available at a costume supply website I also found here. They can’t beat the $9.99 price at Mill’s Farm, but then I do not know the size and have not investigated the shipping costs from each place.
If you are looking for a nostalgic tree, and want something small, it is sure to bring back memories of the long running Christmas special. You might also want to have a traditional tree, and then put this one on a hall table or such.
Stuff for the Pad | Comments (2)The Adventure Look is Back
I have long sung the praises of 5.11 Tactical Pants, like they use in the millitary and police forces. They are great for when you are on a motorcycle and want to arrive looking more business casual.
There are two other things I forgot to mention. They are great for shutterbugs because of all the pockets. Plenty of room for extra memory cards, or film if you are old school. Also, with the Indiana Jones-inspired collection Ralph Lauren introduced recently, the safari and adventure look may come back in a big way. Remember multipocket pants from the last time the look came around? Buy tactical pants in shades of khaki and olive and you are a little ahead of the trend!
