Inspiration 12.8 {Paperwhites}

I woke up this past Sunday morning, super-jazzed to head to my farmer's market and pick out a cute little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Unfortunately, those trees had sold out by 9am, leaving me tree-less for the second week of December. As I walked, disappointed, out of the market, I happened to pass by a stall selling gorgeous paperwhite bulbs--the green stalks just beginning to shoot out of the bulbs atop a rockbed.

I thought about how nice it would be to fore-go a gravity-challenged and fussy tree (not to mention the post-tree vacuuming session that never picks up all of the needles). So, paperwhites it is this year, and I haven't regretted it for a second.

That's why I especially love this photo from Martha Stewart Living, with a giant urn of paperwhites standing in place of a grand tree, presents below and a simple garland overhead.
