I love adding some whimsy to the Holidays. In my daughter’s playroom we love to monkey around, so these sock monkeys were the perfect addition to her Christmas tree.

How fun to just nestle a tree in amongst our regular furnishings!

And who doesn’t love a package wrapped in Tiffany Blue? Makes you think it holds something really special, eh?

Monograms are especially big in Southern traditions but I love making them a little unique with a fun color palette.

5 Little Monkey’s is one of my daughter’s favorite rhymes, so what fun to have 5 of these happy critters falling off her tree!

Here’s to a colorful and happy Holiday season for you and yours! And take the time to monkey around a bit this time of year. It’s makes it all the more memorable for your family.
Cheers!
















oh my goodness, i just melted into a puddle of cuteness! i want my own monkey tree now! and on a side note, everything looks better wrapped in tiffany’s blue

Thank you all very, very much!!!! I thought this tree would be a hit but so happy to hear your comments.
Debra, thank you for your vote of confidence but I am not a great photographer so these photos were taken by a photographer that I love to work with, Rett Peek. He is fantastic! I will pass your compliments on to him.
Merry Christmas all!!!xoxoxo
Your tree is just delightful! So colorful and whimsical! It put a smile on my face the minute I saw it! How fun! And, what a darling playroom. I don’t think I would ever leave. It’s like a little fantasy room. I just love it! Where did you find the sock monkeys and your pink ottoman?
I adore the tree AND the room!! PLEASE show more pictures of that absolutely FAB playroom- grown up and whimsical at the same time.
monkeys are sooooo palm beach.
i wonder how many homes on the island have monkey trees?
if they had a monkey xmas tree,
it would never be as fabulous as yours!

What an adorable tree idea! I love all the festive colors too!

Wow, your tree and decorations exemplify “Merry”! And I appreciate that you are repurposing children’s toys (a class no less!) to bring that festivity to life. Well done!
I have looked for one month for a tree Like white one. What is it called and where can I get one? Thanks so much:) Kelley
