I’d love to hear the story behind your ladder tree. Very unique and quite pretty 🙂 Merry Christmas
How funny! I have that same ladder shelf. Mine’s not nearly as festive, of course!
Merry Christmas!
I love the ladder tree. How cool and clever!!!! MerryChristmas!!
Love that ladder tree, how unique. Thanks for letting us visit.
Now, that ladder tree is something new! VERY interesting!
I’ve heard of ladder trees…yours is so cute!
(And I use to sell Pampered Chef…I have so many things still that I just love!)
Thank you for the Christmas tour…and the yummy recipe!
Hope you can stop by my place, too!
Blessings,

The ladder tree is a great idea! [‘Cept our little Dynamo would feel obligated to climb it.] I like how it looks from your window too.
Printed a copy of your cookie recipe. Baking is on the agenda tomorrow and these looked really great! I’ve never made them…but I’ve eaten lots. My favorite were lemon ones I got in Savannah, Georgia a couple years ago.
I may experiment with flavorings and citrus rinds…my daughter, the Pastry Princess (and chef) is staying with us right now. She’s great at diagnosing how much is enough.
Your tree looks gorgeous in the window! What a pretty picture.
The ladder tree is a GREAT idea!!! So pretty AND useful.
Merry Christmas
